Lecture halls for chapter meetings. Ballrooms for recruitment. I think with the addition of a 5th sorority, there may no longer be spaces large enough for recruitment. JennyJ could confirm that.

Wow... first of all, three big chapters in Southern California in such a short time!

I'm also a little surprised that UCLA is open for expansion again, because it's my understanding that at least a couple of the chapters are a smidge smaller than the rest. A big plus is that AGD still has their house (located right next to Gamma Phi's house!), and I believe it was recently renovated to accommodate rentals.

ETA: You can GoogleMap the house (622 Hilgard Avenue, Los Angeles 90024). It looks like it needs paint, but I don't know how old that photo is. There's a cute enclosed courtyard at the front of the house, and the driveway was painted a few years ago by a visiting AGD chapter that used the house for workshops or a retreat or something.

I have no idea, but I do know that only a handful of organization still own their homes at the university - I already mentioned AGD, but I also believe Phi Mu (646 Hilgard) and maybe Sigma Delta Tau (832 Hilgard - the house still has letters on it) still own their houses.

Sigma Kappa (726 Hilgard), Zeta Tau Alpha (720 Hilgard) and Delta Zeta (824 Hilgard) sold their homes to UCLA in 2003, which were promptly demolished and re-built into university housing.

According to old yearbooks, chapters like Phi Sigma Sigma, Alpha Xi Delta, and Alpha Omicron Pi were located at addresses that are now large apartment buildings, so I assume those properties were sold quite a while ago.

Delta Phi Epsilon and Theta Phi Alpha weren't located on Hilgard, so I would bet that those houses were converted to apartments as well.

Congratulations! Also, Happy Centennial Founder's Day to Theta Phi Alpha

I don't see it listed here but per the Theta Phi Alpha website, they are colonizing at St. Norbert College in Wisconsin in the fall of 2012. Also, they are colonizing at Trine University in Indiana and Lynn University in Florida which had been previously announced in the fall of 2012 as well. Congratulations!

The Kappa Sigma colony at Henderson State University(AR) was chartered this weekend.

Had a little incident on the Thursday before the chartering.

It's actually St. Norbert College (no possession ) - Theta Phi Alpha is absorbing the local, Theta Phi, which had been the Theta Phi Alpha chapter from mid-50s until the 60s. http://www.snc.edu/thetaphi/

The Iota Sigma Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta was installed yesterday at Virginia Commonwealth University. Congrats to all!

P.S. I think it's nice that they also initiate Mothers.
