NCSU is open for Expansion!

The vote passed last Wednesday night to colonize another sorority on campus. The colonization will take place right after formal recruitment in the Fall of '04. As some of you know Delta Gamma just colonized a year ago (Nov. 17th was our first birthday!), and we are all excited to see how successful we have been. We can't wait to see another sorority find equal success!

So if anyone has strong national ties and wants to see their organization represented at North Carolina State University, here is your chance!

We're so excited!

Geez that's some fast expansion. What changes on campus have prompted such a fast expansion of the panhellenic system?

According to the NCSU Greek Life website, the following are the existing sororities:

Alpha Delta Pi
Chi Omega
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta
Sigma Kappa
Zeta Tau Alpha

Does anyone know if there have been sororities there that have since closed? If so, what were they?

Yep, there are the above 6 on campus now. Alpha Phi was here but closed a year before DG came on campus. And Alpha Xi Delta was here but closed in the late 80's I think. We are trying to go up to 10 sororities with in the next 6 years or so...our campus is very large with an increasing female population. NCSU used to be 70%-30% guys to girls but is now very close to 50%-50% yet we have 6 NPC Sororities and 23 IFC Fraternities. They think (through known and estimated statistics) that our campus (30,000+ students) should really hold at least 9 or 10 sororities. They would like to colonize a new group every two years (if groups continue to do well) until they meet this goal.

I would love to see either Alpha Phi or Alpha Xi Delta back. I was not around when Alpha Xi Delta was around, but I was here the year Alpha Phi closed. They are such awesome girls and the national sorority itself is super strong, but I think it will probably be too soon for them to recolonize. Although we cross our fingers in a few years it will not be. OF COURSE though, if Alpha Phi choses to send a packet of interest they will fairly be looked at and evaluated with the rest of them. The three finalists last time were Delta Gamma, Kappa Delta, and Delta Delta Delta. We are leveling the playing ground and all groups will have to re-submit packages (we are not just going to look at KD and DDD)...yay! I'm super excited!

As a North Carolina Alpha Xi Delta, of course, I would love to see us back at NCSU.

We have chapters at Western Carolina, UNC Asheville, UNC Wilmington, East Carolina, Elon, Methodist, and Wingate... NCSU would be chapter #8 in the state.... Elon, Methodist, and Wingate have all been established since our chapter closed at State in the late 80's.

It's great to see a greek system flourishing like the one at NCSU!

Pi Phi, anyone?


Yes, I am a little biased. We do have VERY strong nationals, though. I think we also need some more chapter in the Carolinas....

Yeah, I assume that the groups not on campus will be contacted asap so they can begin to express interest and send materials. Once those are all received and the groups are narrowed down to 3, they will be invited to campus. This will be in the spring. It makes sense that KD and Tri-Delt would be strong competitors as I know they both have been aggressivly checking with Greek Life to check Delta Gamma's success (especially Tri-Delta)...BUT they will be on an even playing ground. They are starting over because there are over 100 new Greek women on campus (Yay Dee Gee!) and they want us to have an imput too (which is why they are just not going to invite KD or Tri-Delta right off the bat).

Several people have PMed me asking for some more information. I'll try to get that to you tonight...I've been swamped with school work and classes end for Thanksgiving today so I'll have more time this evening.
