All of those cases are unrelated to each other. More information is available here http://www.clemson.edu/campus-life/f...life/news.html

Supposedly ASA, AST and Phi Sigma Sigma presented at Lindenwood (I'm assuming in Illinois)

The campus in Missouri (St. Charles) is also expanding, if I remember correctly.

It is killing me not being able to update. I may have to go back and do a "quoting" update like I did before.

[Griffins&Quills]

Okay then I'm not sure because the sorority extension twitter tagged the Missouri school.

It also says that Sewanee - University of the South is open for expansion and at least one unnamed group applied

Anyone ow how KD has fared there? They are competing with old locals.

You know, FSU Zeta, they have done well. I believe when they first colonized it was with 12 women and was a slow go and a real risk for a while. But now, I think they are pretty solid. I think they would love to have another National group or 2 join them. Great school!

One thing to add, from what I can tell there is no quota. Some groups have 20 or so members while others have maybe 100. KD is in the 70-80 range. It is an interesting system they we have had to work around.

Is the potential national interest coming from another local or would this be a ground-up colonization? Do you (or anyone) know yet?

There is an article called "ADT Going National" in the newsletter of one of their locals (Alpha Delta Theta). I found it posted as a photo on their FB page.

I don't remember if these have been announced, but the following schools are open for expansion with the last expansion noted:

California State Polytechnic University- Pomona (Chi Omega 1983)

Colorado School of Mines ( Alpha Phi 2000)

Clemson University(SC) ( Alpha Phi 2012)

Sewanee- University of the South ( Kappa Delta 2003)

Texas State University (Gamma Phi Beta 2012)

Union College(NY) ( Gamma Phi Beta 1986)
