Pilam is one of the miracle GLO's of this decade. The fraternity was almost over in 2008-2009 with like 20 chapters - all struggling. There were talks of merger into a larger fraternity. Flash forward to 2015 - 45 chapters and colonies with an aim to reach 55 by 2020. Proud to be a brother of an organization which survived and tripled in size in a decade. How'd this change exactly happen?

I was not familiar with your fraternity. My, you have lot of famous members. Impressive! Good luck to you and your continued growth.

Congratulations. A few of my chapter sisters were friends with the Pilams on our campus, and I think two, maybe three, married Pilams.

I didn't realize the fraternity had struggled. Good luck in maintaining your growth!

Are you at U of Illinois? If so, I had a lot of friends in your chapter.

Yeah I am in Illinois. When did you have friends at UIUC? We are a colony at uiuc after we shut down here in 2009. Our colonization is a 5 year process and much more rigorous than many other frats
