Reputation of Sigma Kappa? And is it true they're going to be unhoused again soon?

As much as people want to hate on them, the really are a step up from TPA, ASA, DPhiE. They seems to pair with the any of the same chapters as SDT, ADPi, and AGD. They are still somewhat of a mixed bag because they have half a chapter of women still there from the colonization, but they are slowly establishing their identity.

The lease they have on Phi Psi is eligible to be extended if Phi Psi is not ready to come back. With the number of fraternities losing their chapters, I don't see them being unhoused, just maybe not in Phi Psi after next school year.

I agree with most of what you said. Love my friends in SK. But why did you have to put down TPA, ASA and DPhiE in the process?

I am the person from above and I did not mean any disrespect, I have friends in all four houses. SK did make quota last year and the other three chapters did not, that's what I meant. They have a stronger national organization than the other three and seems to get good support from nationals.

Phi Psi was supposed to come back this year, but didn’t have a big enough recolonization class to fill the house. It’s not for certain, but they may only have 1 more year in that house. And if there are no available houses at the time, they would be unhoused.

Look it up in the IDS, the lease is for two years with the option to extend. The lease officially runs through next school year.

Of the sororities that don't own houses, SK is the only one that owned a house for many, many years at IU. They sold their house to Pi Kapps when they left campus in the mid 1990s. Even if they only got like $500k from selling the house after the mortgage was paid off, if that money was invested wisely, they should have a substantial nest egg.

This is pure speculation but I would guess that of the "unhoused" chapters currently renting, they are probably the one most likely to build their own home at some point in the future.

Don't worry, Sigma Kappa will continue to have a house regardless of what happens with the one they are in now; they do have the national means and money to rent or buy houses in the future.

Unless another chapter gets kicked off SK will be unhoused after next year. IU is not selling land to Greek life period end of story. It’s not funds that are the issue.

You’re wrong. I know as an alumnae who helped re-established this chapter SK is back for the long haul, and there is both land and money for a house. SK has had a presence on IU’s campus for over 100 years...give or take a dry patch.

Yeah, these are obviously rumors being spread by the unhoused/temporarily leased house sororities. SK is finacially set to have their own house and much stronger nationally with many more alums. Now that's the reality.

People don’t hate Sigma Kappa because they’re jealous or wish they weren’t better, people hate Sigma Kappa because they’re not nice and they’re not fun to pair with. Plain and simple.

Whether SK nationals has the money or not, IU is not wanting to sell land to greek chapters, so i don't know where they are planning on having their house then. Also Phi Psi is fighting for their house back I personally know people in the chapter.

none of the frats like them because they won’t let them open pairs and none of the sororities like them because they try to act like they’re higher tier than they are. they’re bottom of the barrel just like the rest.

Naw you DPhiE beasts are all over here this week down low bashing all the good sororities. No one wants you even now that you have a very temporary house. Won't help just like inviting all PNMs back won't help either

Really like this house. Heard sisterhood was tentative but didn’t see it. With the others didn’t feel the love. It’s like they’re working but chill and authentic. Hope I’m right. Following my heart on this.
