Here's some good news for the Big 10:
Sororities vie for spot on campus

ByKelsey Shirriff March 06, 2013

The University of Minnesota is formally bringing a new sorority to campus for the first time in decades — but the chapter has to beat out other contenders first.

This weekend national chapters Phi Mu, Chi Omega and Delta Delta Delta will present to a committee reasons each should be the one chosen to come to the University.

Overflowing chapters, connecting to alumni and recent University support for participating in greek life contributed to the decision to add a new sorority, said Matt Levine, program director for the Office for Fraternity and Sorority life.

“It’s a huge deal,” he said. “It is the most exciting thing that they’ve been able to do on the sorority side in a long time. It’s going to bring a ton of energy to our community.”

Good luck to all those participating.

Update re: LSU Sigma Alpha Epsilon situation

At Louisiana State, SAE has been “banned from campus” through December 31, 2014. The student paper recently ran a "news" story and an editorial / opinion piece related to the banning.

After a year delay, ZBT finally re-colonized the Sigma Chapter at Tulane University. 43 men were initiated and pinned as new founding fathers.....

Congratulations and welcome back to the brotherhood.

I would LOVE to see us at SHSU! Housing isn't a problem - all the sororities have college-owned dorms on top of a hill. I'd love to have a chapter closer to Houston.

I would absolutely LOVE to have Phi Mu go to Temple! I'm also excited about The University of Minnesota! This is all very exciting!

I do not think Phi Sigma Sigma is active at this school anymore. They are not listed on the Greek life website and Phi Sigma Sigma's National page does not have them listed on their list of active chapters. The only chapter they list as active in Colorado is at the University of Colorado - Colorado Springs. It must have closed?

The college does have a sorority extension timeline listed.
