tri sigma

They aren't rumors. You can only go so many years in a row not meeting quota before your house gets kicked off campus.

DZ and AOPi were both in the running to come back with SK this last time around and both chapters are eager to get into Mizzou Greek Life. I think AOPi might come back first because they have history here but DZ has stronger Nationals, so it's all up in the air at this point.

I agree! Whatever house comes back next should buy out Richmond Place and build their house there. I think that's the real trick for bringing back another house. Sigma Kappa was lucky because they still owned their house and were just renting it out, so luckily they got it ready in time for rush. But if a new sorority comes to campus they'll need a place in Greek Town or their chances of getting girls will be slim.

Every house did make quota this year besides sigma

Richmond Place used to be Acacia way back in the day.

Everyone just needs to hope that all houses make quota, or we won't be bringing another sorority to campus. It's that simple.

If Sigma gets kicked off campus like the rumors are saying then they might bring DZ back in like five years. They like to space it out so that new houses can try and get their footing and if you've noticed they've been bringing them to campus in five year increments. First it was Phi Mu, then Sigma, now SK. I think in five years their bring DZ on campus to either compete with or replace Sigma.

DZ has never had a chapter at Mizzou.

Aren't the KD's in what used to be the ZBT house?

Used to belong to Sigma Alpha Mu (Sammy).

Tri-Sig's nationals are out of touch and among some of the strictest of all the PHA houses.

Tri Sigma is a former education sorority. Their only good chapters are at directional schools, most of which used to be teacher's colleges. They struggle at schools with big Greek systems. In addition to Mizzou, at UNC they never make quota, at Penn State they closed for numbers a couple of years ago, and at UVA their national put the entire chapter on alumnae status so they can recruit a brand-new chapter next month.

Omg at the UVA comment... I've never heard of such a thing! I would be so insulted if I were in that chapter

Alpha Phi's Nationals did the same thing to the chapter here at Mizzou less than a decade ago.

Really what was wrong with their chapter? Looks like the idea worked

APhi was reorganized ("revitalized" in national-speak) in 1998 because they were a weak-recruiting chapter with the smallest numbers on campus. You can look it up in old Maneaters online, but they had something like 40 members when national stepped in. It was very controversial at the time, and there were lots of hurt feelings, threats of lawsuits, etc., but it was what was needed to keep the chapter from having to close completely and wait a potentially very long time to recolonize.

The revitalization strategy also saved APhi's chapters at Cornell, Duke, and UVA. All three are considered upper-middle to top chapters today.

Literally neither of those houses tried to colonize here in the way you're talking about. They've never participated in rush so you're theory about girls quitting is absolutely unfounded. Just complete lies.

Sigma Kappa is the last house we had colonize. You don't know what you're talking about, you're a moron.

You're an idiot. there was a group of girls here on campus last year trying to bring DZ to campus I knew one personally who quit and did COB. It didn't work for them because they didn't see any chance of getting a house in Greek town in the near future. Obviously they participate in recruitment. Same thing AOPi happened. 100% true.

EXACTLY. DZ is courting Mizzou to become a bonafide, affiliated PHA chapter. You don't put on rush as a PHA sorority unless your nationals are behind you and the University approves you. And there hasn't been a single PHA house to do that since Sigma Kappa less than five years ago.
