All 26?

[xp2k]

Does any campus have ALL 26 NPC sororities? Ive never seen that before.

Most campuses have a ton of fraternities, but a limited amount of sororoties, despite the fact that sororities are usually better organized and have more interest.

Even better yet, does any campus have ALL 26 NPC sororities and ALL 4 NPHC sororities?

Im just curious

IU HAS all 4 NPHC sororities but only 19 (we are adding the 20th next year) of the NPC sororities. I know that at one point we had 22 NPCs (what a time that must have been for rush...22 party!)

Penn State has 20 of the NPC sororities and all 4 of the NPHC sororities. I think this is the school with the most NPC chapters.

[CutiePie2000]

The University of Illinois - Champaign Urbana had I think, 21 NPCs at one point. It looks like it have shrunk to 19.

I think your school, or U of Illinois is the closest that anyone's ever gotten to having all 26 NPCs, but no campus has ever done it, to the best of my knowledge....

xp2k, I think you will find many campuses that do have all 4 of the NPHC sororities present on campus....having all 26 of the NPC is another story!

The University of Tennessee Knoxville has 19 sororities, but at the time of my enrollment (in 94) - they had 20 (AGD went inactive). So currently our Panhellenic represents all 19 sororities:

Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Kappa Alpha
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Xi Delta
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Sigma Theta
Delta Zeta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Lambda Theta Alpha
Phi Mu
Pi Beta Phi
Sigma Gamma Rho
Sigma Kappa
Zeta Phi Beta
Zeta Tau Alpha

What is kinda cool - I think we have the same number of fraternities on campus as well

And just out of curiousity....which NPC sorority has the least number of active chapters? And the most?

[Glitter650]

Hey, although my school with only three NPC orgs( AGD, A Phi, and my chapter of Phi Sigma sigma) is nowhere CLOSE to having all 26 I know Phi sig has 128 active chapters... someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's it... I'm curious to see the # of chapters the other NPC groups have..

[AXWhoah]

Alpha Chi Omega has 133 active chapters. But Chi Omega has like 170 and they have the most.

Well Volgirl,

Four of your sororities are NPHC groups so in actuality you only have 15 NPC sororities.

We had 22 in the mid 90s but we lost Sigma Kappa, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Tri-Sigs, and AOII.

From what I hear, reasons for the sororities leaving ranged in categories from poor recruitment and image to severe hazing.

I also dont think (in recent years at least...with recent being 10 years) that we have had a Phi Sigma Sigma, Delta Phi Epsilon, Theta Phi Alpha or Alpha Sigma Tau. I dont think that Purdue has any of those chapters either.

AOII recolonized in the late 90s and Tri-Sigs plan on returning next year which will make things more even.

I'm quoting from one of FuzzieAlum's post from a few months ago. Here are sororities listed by number of chapters:
176 chapters - Chi Omega
More than 150 chapters - Delta Zeta, Zeta Tau Alpha
More than 130 chapters - Delta Gamma, Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Chi Omega
More than 115 chapters - Alpha Omicron Pi, Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Delta, Phi Mu, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta
More than 100 chapters - Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Gamma Delta, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Xi Delta, Phi Sigma Sigma
More than 50 chapters - Alpha Sigma Tau, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Phi Sigma Sigma, Delta Phi Epsilon
50 or fewer - Sigma Delta Tau, Theta Phi Alpha

[LeslieAGD]

Alpha Gam currently has 114 active chapters.

[AGDLynn]

Hi. I don't know if Fuzzie's list includes active and inactive chapters. The closest AGD count I could come up with is 115 active and 64 inactive chapters for a total of 179 chapters in the United States and Canada since 1904.

Moxie: Exact numbers would be hard to find since colonies and closing...KD has 124/123 actives and 200 chartered...or some where close to that, am I right?

When a school has so many NPC groups is it fun or really difficult to get along? Just wondering b/c we only had 9 and had issues, I think with 15+ that would be hard!

[Beryana]

I know that AOII chartered her 178th chapter this past weekend - I'm not exactly sure how many are still active.

Volgirl & BrianMUDU
, On your campus, these sororities that you listed are not among the NPC's 26 members:

Alpha Kappa Alpha - NPHC
Delta Sigma Theta - NPHC
Lambda Theta Alpha - multicultural/Latina
Sigma Gamma Rho - NPHC
Zeta Phi Beta - NPHC



and MoxieGirl,
the NPC group with the least number of chapters is Theta Phi Alpha. My out of date book "From Here to Fraternity" puts them at 13 chapters (not verified). Not sure what that number would be today, and I couldn't verify on their website.....
