Iowa State

Any ISU alumni running around here? I was wondering if there is any thought in getting the chapter back up and running at ISU?

From some stuff I have read, it appears your alumni are VERY well organized. ISU's greek scene looks very nice indeed:

Sigma Nu closed when I was a freshman at Iowa State 10 years ago, so I don't remember much about them. While the University is favorable towards the Greek Community, Phi Kappa Psi, Delta Chi and Delta Lambda Phi all colonized there within the last two years.

Also, unless a chapter closes and Sigma Nu takes over their house, I don't know where they would live -- I believe they sold their house to Alpha Sigma Phi 7-8 years ago. With the exception of DLP, all the fraternities at Iowa State are housed. While a chapter could survive without a chapter facility, it certainly helps -- all the current fraternity houses are within walking distance to campus.

No way would I think they should make a go of it unless they had housing on campus; and VERY nice housing at that. IT appears to be an ultra-competive community ISU has there.

It is my understanding that the Alumni have a pretty good lump of change ready to put toward a house if nationals, the campus government and the Alumni all decided to make a go of it.

I was just wondering if ISU Snakes knew if they were looking into it.

Thanks for the insight into ISU!
