Sigma Alpha Chi Latina Sorority, Inc.

April 15, 1997

Currently at 5 members

No house

Yes

We are not a member of the universities Panhellenic council, but it hasnt been from lack of trying on behalf of the Greek Life Office or the university. We just dont feel as if PHA serves our needs as culturally based sorority. (your situation may be different)

No

Yes, just one other local, but they are affiliated with PHA. Xi Omicron Iota.

All that I could tell you is that universities in MO arent accepting any more local chapters unless you become affiliated with a governing council on campus, and because of the potential liability. Im sure youve checked your schools policies. Good luck to you and starting a local is a very ambitious, but lofty goal.

NAME OF YOUR ORGANIZATION: Delta Gamma Phi

COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY: Western Connecticut State Univerity

DATE OF FOUNDING: May 7th, 1990

NUMBER OF MEMBERS: 20

DO YOU HAVE HOUSING?: No, there is no Greek housing

ARE YOU REQUIRED TO HAVE LIABILTY INSURANCE? We have $10 Mil in insurance from the university itself. So yes, but not from an outside source.

ARE YOU A MEMBER OF YOUR SCHOOLS PANHELLENIC COUNCIL? Our school doesn't have NPC representation

HAS YOUR COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY TRIED TO MAKE YOUR LOCAL SORORITY AFFILIATE WITH A NATIONAL NPC SORORITY? Tried, yes.

DO YOU CONDUCT RUSH WITH THE NPC SORORITIES ON YOUR CAMPUS?: They don't exist, but there are national sororities that we do rush with. We are very civil to each other and even help each other out.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER LOCAL GREEK ORGANIZATIONS ON YOUR CAMPUS?: Yes. Is anyone really the only greek organization on a campus? I don't think it would really work without some wort of Greek Council...

IF YES, PLEASE LIST NAMES:
National Sororities: Alpa Delta Pi, Sigma Delta Tau
Local Sorority: Kappa Chi Alpha
National Fraternities: Zeta Beta Tau, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Chi

ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD...:We don't use NPC but we're pressured to become national so NPC can come to our campus (not that it's big enough...and half the students are commuters...but we won't go into that) I'm wondering how exactly relationships between NPC and locals work and how a local would have representation at panhell?

Hmmm my alma mater. So interesting to see yet another local to go along with the two internationals. On the fraternity side there are no locals. I always find that interesting.

Edited to add: OUt of curiosity are you another local that came from the AOPi stuff?

well 3 of 6 of our founding mothers belonged to AOPi, and then they (including myself) disaffiliated, and started a local with 3 other girls, which has now grown quite well for our first Alpha class.

And as for locals for fraternities, there are two, both in Ottawa U, Omega Theta Alpha and Delta Pi.
