BUMPING now that recruitment has commenced

Without worrying our pretty little heads about pesky little problems like housing, both Iowa and Mizzou need to open.

[QUOTE=ukdzccd;2278314]Yeah, me too. I was at UK 93-96 at total was 90. it's 220 now, I'm expecting a pledge class of 85-100 (last year quota was 82) which will push total up to around 250 I suspect.

it's crazy. None of these houses were designed to handle chapters this big. It's great that the system is as successful as it is, but we need another chapter. Kinda sad Sigma Kappa didn't decide to return this fall. Hopefully they'll be part of the discussion when it officially opens for expansion.[/QUOte

For some reason, new chapters struggle at UK, when the numbers are their to support them. The exception being Alpha Phi. Phi Mu had a successful recruitment year this fall I 'm glad to report.
But since I've graduated, darks ages ago like TSteven, ZTA, Alpha XI Delta, and Gamma Phi Beta have closed. Sigma Kappa has come and gone, and I believe DZ recolonized after a brief hiatus. In the early 1970's we had an Alpha Chi Omega chapter that colonized the same year as Gamma Phi. Neither lasted long.
I heard a rumour several years ago that Alpha Chi was a potential recolonization. That would be great as there are no other AXO chapters in Kentucky, and I know several Ky girls pledged at Alabama in the last few years.

Total is now 249 at Kentucky. For a "less Greek" SEC school, that's an awfully big number!

Another school to watch will be East Carolina after two years of record breaking numbers. The only drawback at ECU is finding viable housing.

This statement can be applied to many schools on this list!

Apparently Delta Gamma, via the NPC thread. I must've missed the announcement that UNCW was open

I think that could be overcome if a group bought a couple houses near campus, tore them down and built from scratch. It would be pricey but could work.

Total is now 248 (Median chapter size) at Texas A&M another "less Greek" SEC school. I think if next year is as much of an increase as this year (209 to 248) the talks will have to begin regarding expansion.
Housing is going to be an issue but there is a fraternity house on "the row" that could be a spot for a new sorority house if they were willing (at a price of course) to relocate.

Wasn't East Carolina a campus where all the houses looked alike and were all built at the same time? Or did they move away from that after either the turn of the millennium or some weather disaster?

SPSU in Georgia is also like that.

Never been to either campus, so you may have me there. What is the difference between sorority housing at each school?
