Dream expansions - Page 2

Georgia Tech. I have read in their newspaper in the past that one local wanted to go National about 2-3 years ago. I think if GT were to open for expansion ( I don't think they are now), Gamma Phi might be good. With the UGA chapter about 2 hours away, and Auburn, Clemson, and UA nearby--it could work.

Any news on the USC colonization?

Don't forget SPSU, which is only about 20 minutes away. And Athens is only about an hour away. (c:

It could work, IMO. But I'm not sure that Gamma Phi expands using local sororities anymore.

Isn't there an inactive chapter at LA State? I think that my cousin's FMIL initiated in that chapter, because she helped colonize ours.

Yup, Gamma Lambda 1964 -1977. The housing corp. held on to the property until the early 1990's and then they sold the house to Sigma Phi Epsilon. It's still a very pretty 3-story house.

I just moved to Arkansas from Idaho (where there's not a lot of Gamma Phi houses, but at least there's some). I would love to see some sort of alumnae organization start up somewhere around here! I live right by the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and greek life is big here. It would be nice to see Gamma Phi here! I would love to help out as much as possible.!

Any chapter in Kentucky please!!!! At Morehead State, we are the only chapter in Kentucky and the closest chapter is 2 and a half hours away in Miami (OH). I would love to see the UK chapter recolonize, but anywhere (UofL, WKU, EKU, Georgetown, Transylvania, NKU) would help us so much!!! It makes me sad when Chi Omega has States Day every year with all of their chapters from the State meeting and we are the only chapter in our state. I would love to see more Gamma Phi Chapters in the South, it would help our recognition out so much.

University of California San Diego

California State University San Marcos

If we got those two, we'd totally have the San Diego market covered. We'd be like the Gamma Phi Mafia.

As I was reading this thread I teared up... I wish Beta Beta were back (Univ of Maryland) I am hoping that before my biological sisters go to college it will be back. Heres to hoping!

All of California is a Gamma Phi Mafia... I think Province 16 (A and B combined) is the largest Province still (could be wrong now)... now it's just a matter of increasing involved members and alumnae!

It would be really cool to get CSUSM and UCSD though... the four major Universities in San Diego... wow.

And 16 doesn't cover all of CA even. Northern CA is in 13.....

i'd like to see the UT chapter re-colonize. there are still tons of alum around! even here in corpus christi (3 hours away) we have about 10 alums. now, they are all well towards their fifty-year pin (one already has it), but they would be willing to help out and would be soooooo happy. since we have one at A&M now, it would be fun to see the UT group re-colonize.

Those of us who wanted to see more GPhi representation in the south...Emory Panhellenic invited Gamma Phi Beta to colonize!

So so so happy for a chapter in my hometown! When I went to the local greek apparel store, the girl at the register mentioned how few people come in for Gamma Phi apparel...now that is about to change

I'm terribly biased . . .but Gamma Chi at Texas State University! When we went off , we were all sent a letter stating that we would be recolonizing in 2000 - but since then, nothing. It's the third largest public university in Texas! I do know that AOII went on - and then off - since 2000. I don't know what's up, but would love to know (especially since I'm organizing a reunion for 1980 - 1990 initiates, and THEY all want to know!)

a couple of my alums (i'm the crescent circle chair, that's why i say "my") went to SWT. I have not heard of the campus even talking about expansion, so I'm not sure that will happen any time soon.

BUT...we are moving up in Texas! In case you haven't heard, we are colonizing at TCU in fall and presenting at UTSA in about 2 weeks. That would be awesome! I would love to have another collegiate chapter only 2 1/2 hours away! Right now, A&M is 4 hours and SMU is ~5 hours away. There is a chapter here at A&M-Corpus Christi. UNT is also open and we have submitted a packet, but I haven't heard anything more.
