What about small NPC's?

You are right, they did, but I was speaking about present-day and NPC groups in particular. I don't see a problem if a group of women want to start a local sorority and grow from there, but I stand by what I said (maybe it wasn't all that clear) that a group should not be able to form and dictate to a campus Panhellenic when a new NPC group should come to campus. That is an individual campus Panhellenic decision.

You were clear. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to point it out.

Money, it takes lots of money. Oh yeah and Chapter Consultants and alumnae who are willing to become involved and STAY involved.

Hey katherine by the way ... anyway I think sororities in the south must be so diffferent from the north ... there are basically a big three or four down here that everyone knows ... my sorority isn't one of them so I tell people which one i am in and they look at me like I am crazy ...

is tri delt and chio and the other big ones still colonizing chapters???

I was involved in an expansion presentation a few years ago. Our GLO had several other chapters within a 50 mile radius and a huge roomful of alumnae present. The other GLO already on this campus did not vote for us to be invited ,rather supported another smaller GLO that had less support in the area.

We were told that we intimidated the existing chapter who had limited alum support in the area because we had such a huge amount of support. You never know how extension will be received.

That is very interesting. I wonder how often that situation happens where one group feels intimidated by a presenting GLO?

Hey, I've heard of AZD! My best friend's mother was an AZD at Ole Miss in the 1970s. And my sister's best friend is one at Christian Brother's in Memphis, TN. I think the GLO's down here are different but we are all the same really, to better each other and the world. Not to sound cheesy.

A Xi D also has an active chapter at the University of New Orleans and an outstanding alumnae chapter. Although the chapter at LSU closed in 1988, there are still quite a few A Xi Ds running around here.

Chi Omega just colonized and chartered at Washington University in St. Louis. DDD recently colonized and chartered at Richard Stockton in NJ.

As far as I know, TPA doesn't have any chapters at schools with really strong greek life (in the South for example), but I don't think we're getting any smaller. We just opened 3 new chapters this year and we currently have 4 colonies. I realize that our chapters are smaller because we're not on huge greek campuses, but we're slowly increasing our overall number of chapters.

Several years ago, when my younger (biological) sister was attending Loyola-Marymount Univ in Los Angeles, she was looking to get another sorority added to the campus. I think they had four (DG, Alpha Phi, DZ, and KD) but the KD chapter was closing. I suggested she look into Theta Phi Alpha because of their shared Catholic heritage and I knew there was an active Theta Phi alum chapter in Los Angeles (I think there used to be a Theta Phi chapter in the early 1900's at UCLA). In the end, the Panhel office at Loyola Marymount chose Kappa Alpha Theta and that is where my sister pledged. I know that Pi Beta Phi has recently expanded to LMU but I STILL think Theta Phi Alpha should colonize there one of these days - I think it'd be a great fit!

Wow, awesome list AOPiRose! I've been meaning to do that, but i've been too lazy Thanks so much!!

Also, Phi Sig is colonizing at the University of Minnesota- Duluth. The chapter, Iota Zeta, I believe, will be installed in Jan. 04.

ADII colonized at FGCU too?? I know we pledged a group there last spring, and they were scheduled to be installed this October. I know DDD was the first NPC sorority on that campus(I met some of the girls at a conference this sumer)...did they open for expansion again?? It seems like a very short time.

ETA: YAY STOCKTON!!!!!!

[aopirose]

I saw it listed on the ADII board. That's all the info that I have.

FGCU is the newest state university in Florida and is only, I believe, 10 years old. The administration is trying to focus on making the campus more residential in nature. They just built a bunch of new dormitories and are trying to offer more student activities.

That's all I know

You're right . Our Pi chapter was chartered at UCLA in 1926, although I'm not quite sure when or why it closed.
