For those of you who are curious, Avila University is a private Cathollic university in Kansas City, MO.

I bet Theta Phi Alpha would be interested!

Obviously Missouri State needs to open. Only 7 chapters and quota of 94 with some groups taking 100+.
On campus:
SSS
ASA
ADPi

Yes, I saw that 94 today and couldn't quite believe it.

Any idea why Missouri State hasn't expanded? Seems like a no-brainer.

Is housing an issue? Quick Googling shows that all the chapters have houses except the one local, which makes a point of saying on its website that they do not have a live-in requirement.

I think Tri Sigma's recolonization wasn't too terribly long ago and they want to make sure all groups are solid...I think they're ok with that now though. Their growth is definitely a result of the name change.

They have been open - Gamma Phi Beta colonized in 2009 and Tri-Sigma in 2013. They just need to open again! Soon! Multiple times!

I know from friends in Missouri that MSU has done a great job of marketing the University in the past decade, and the administration has apparently been supportive of Greek life. I think the school is shedding the commuter/local region reputation it had several decades ago. The one problem I can foresee is room to grow, as the university is in the middle of the city.
I looked at the chapter listings and saw Phi Mu used to have a chapter. Pethaps they could recolonize.

sdtennisgal -- I think all the chapters not currently on at Missouri State would want to throw their hat in the ring!

Because of Theta Phi Alpha history of being founded as a Catholic sorority (though not limited since 1968) and since there are chapters at many Catholic universities: Loyola (New Orleans), St. John's, Creighton, St. Leo, Rockhurst, Sacred Heart, Ashland, Merian, Merrimack, Dayton (active chapters).

I haven't heard any rumblings but I know my Alpha Xi sisters in Kansas City would love to have another chapter relatively close to support. SMSU (or whatever the acronym is they're using these days) would be great. As would UCM.

They're Missouri State now. I am pretty sure their admissions department would sic a firing squad on you if you called them SMSU.

Texas A&M is predicted to have a quota of well over 100! Over 1400 PNMs went through 12 houses with one colonizing.

I'm having a quiet day at work (nobody travels or plans to travel the week before a holiday), running through the numbers posted so far this year and I was thinking. (duh duh duuuuuuuuuh, scary music playing!) Arkansas' two newest chapters seem to be stable, the numbers are still massive, and as I understand it new construction is coming along apace. Is there talk of further expansion? Has the university allowed precious space for further expansion?
