The campuses are about 1 1/2 from each other.

Does that mean all the former Lambuth NPC sororities with no chapter at Memphis--AOII and AXiD--will not be allowed to form/recolonize at Memphis?

In fact Alpha Xi Delta has dormant chapters at both Memphis and Lambuth.

That's very odd. Why is it not being treated like a satellite campus (like it is) like UNC, UNCC, UNCW, UNCA ??
I can't imagine that's an appealing situation for any national

No one. That's it.

Wow....this seems unusual to me. I'm not familiar with UM; but, their main UM website clearly claims UM-Lambuth as a "campus". It appears to me that Lambuth campus is considered a part of UM proper, just an extended site. In that case, I can understand why NPC might consider having two chapters there an issue.
But the two campus locations are an hour and a half apart??? San Diego State University has a main campus in San Diego and a campus in Imperial Valley (Calexico, CA). The Imperial campus is considered to be attached to SDSU; yet, students cannot freely attend classes between locations. One must choose one location or the other on the application. The two SDSU campus locations are also 1.5 hours apart. The SDSU arrangement sounds very similar to UM and UM-Lambuth. The difference is, as far as I can tell, there is no Greek life at the SDSU IV Campus, whereas the UM-Labuth campus does have GLOs.
Yeah...that is interesting.

You raise an interesting point-it's not as though girls at UM-Lambuth are able to freely commute between campuses and can join a chapter at one while attending the other. Unless I'm reading the situation entirely wrong, they're separate schools and should-and in the case of fraternities do, as I posted above-have distinct chapters and two different Greek communities.
In other news, Murray State (KY) has announced that Delta Zeta will colonize in Fall 2016, presumable after formal recruitment. This is the second stack of their three-sorority stack of KD, DZ, and Phi Mu.

Lambuth College was, until just a few scant years ago, a totally separate private (I think) college. It may have had a religious affiliation. It's quite small. I believe the administration was getting ready to close the college and U of Memphis came in and took over.
Alumnae still consider it totally separate from U of Memphis.
I guess they are still working out the details.

Ah...thank you! This is making more sense now!

That may be more acceptable at some schools, but upperclassmen quota at UCLA is typically about half (or more) the size of freshman quota - that's a huge number to opt out of, and I think most organizations would not support these chapters in doing so.

What I'm trying to say is that at UCLA, I don't think there's much, if any, inherent penalty to dropping out of recruitment and re-rushing the next year. Every year there are a handful of women who pledge a chapter, drop, and successfully re-rush the next year, often into stronger recruiting chapters. It's a school where lots of PNMs sign up in the couple of days before recruitment starts - it's a very accepted explanation to say that you signed up on a whim, got overwhelmed and dropped out.
The point about sophomores being included in upperclassman quota is still a valid one: if the UC quota is designed to help junior transfers find a fit, then including sophomores is counterproductive. If anything, it now puts sophomores into a group where their status is not just not detrimental, it actually makes them preferred over the juniors in their group.

I agree. You all should move to a freshman/sophomore quota and then a separate junior quota like they do at Davis. There are very few women who are willing to go through recruitment three times to get into a stronger recruiting chapter and they really aren't looked favorably upon!

Lambuth closed in the summer of 2011 and UM acquired the campus immediately afterward.

Kappa Delta pledged 87 new members at it's newest colony Theta Xi at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington on January 24. When installed it will become the 163rd active chapter of Kappa Delta.
