Thanks, dukedg, for posting the link to the Collegian article. I didn't know what "protocol" was re: announcing who was selected, so I thought I should wait until after Monday night. Guess if it was in the newspaper, it wasn't technically a secret anymore!

Yes, congratulations to ZTA for returning to the K-State campus. It looks like a fall 2010 colonization.

Boulder, Colorado has started looking to add a possible 10th sorority, currently there are 9 panhellenic sororities: 1.Delta Delta Delta, 2.Alpha Chi Omega, 3. Alpha Phi,4. Chi Omega,5. Delta Gamma,6. Gamma Phi Beta,7.Kappa Alpha Theta,8. Kappa Kappa Gamma,9. Pi Beta Phi.

We have started a Judicial board that is working on the idea currently Does any one know or have heard anything about what sorority it will be?

If your campus has just started researching, it is way too early to have any idea of who it will be.

The article is from the student paper, they are active on campus. I personally haven't seen them around, but I've been at home sleeping off my sinus infection and enjoying everything on my DVR.

I believe they have a group of 20 so far, including the ASUI President.

The LXA colony is now in their house (formerly rented by AGR, originally Pi Phi, their lozenge is part of the mantle above the fire place) as the ivy has been trimmed off the brick and their letters are up. The AGRs have removed their signage, and last I heard they were moving into the former Teke house this fall (Teke has been gone since 2003). There is SO MUCH construction on campus that I haven't driven to the golf course or past the house, so I'm not sure if AGR has moved in yet.

I am going to miss seeing the farm equipment AGR had on their lawn for campus events, and when they did a wood chopping philanthropy as well. I don't really drive on New Greek except to go to the golf course.

To the best of my knowledge the former ASUI president is still involved, though we graduated and he's interning in DC with Senator Walt Minnick as of the Monday after graduation in May. Also the new greek advisor should have started the beginning of July, but I haven't met him yet.

This fall Alpha Sigma Alpha will be colonizing at the University of Texas at El Paso by absorbing the local sorority New Delta.

There's a new thread for 2010-11 school year. I think someone already announced this.
