Sigma Kappa sorority receives
support from University greeks
By Tammy Batey
Emeiaid RepoMei
Sigma Kappa, a former t'ni
versify sorority, is back on cam
pus.
So far. the new chapter has
received a warm welcome from
the greek system
The reaction from other
houses has been "phenome
nal." said I.ynn hlostermann.
Sigma Kappa chapter consul
tant.
"The support is wonderful
and there are no rivalries,"
Klosterman said "The other
sororities realize that the more
(sororities) there are the strong
er the greek system w dl lie
The sorority, which was
founded at Colin College in
Maine in 1H74. has returned to
the University after a 10-year
absence
Due to an unstable economy
in tile late tills and early '70s
Sigma Kappa could no longer
Ik* supported on i ainpus. said
Nicole Kirs/. I’anhellenic ex
pa nshm chair.
The Panhellenic (Council de
cided las! full to expand the so
rority system. Kiesz said.
"We looked at the numbers
of women in the houses," she
said. "It was getting to the
point where pledge classes
were getting to be about -to
people. They could move in
but no one else could."
The greek system was not al
lowing for growth. Kiesz said,
although there was interest in
expansion.
The University council wrote
to all national sororities and
three were interviewed with
the council deciding to support
two sororities: Kappa Delta,
which was added last year, and
Sigma Kappa to start this term
Sigma Kappa pledges at
tended an information meeting
and then were interviewed b\
national rush count il members
at the start of the term
The women then attended in
formal parties and learned the
history of the organization dur
ing rush. In January. 115 wom
en who pledged the house will
be initiated.
Sigma kappa pledges are
currently adjusting to Universi
ty life and members are busy
working within the sorority,
said Christy Saito. Panhellenic
vice-president.
"Kight now the stuff they're
doing is within their own or
ganization including choosing
officers.” Saito said. "But
they're part of Panhellenic in
cluding electing delegates on
Panhellenic."
The original Sigma kappa
house, on 15th Avenue and lor
merly inhabited by Tau kappa
Kpsilon. is undergoing an (esti
mated $250,000 renovation and
is expected to be done next fall,
said klostermann.
The bouse is being expanded
and will house 50-55 members,
although who will live there
has vet to be determined.

er enrollment requirements as a
factor in their declining num
bers
The University lifted its en
rollment cap that was enacted
at the 1reginning of the 1989-90
m hool year, and that may also
play a part in the increasing
number oi pledges on the cam
pus
Also to blame for the general
decrease is the negative public -
itv the greek system has been
getting, many colleges say.
With charges currently being
pressed against a member of
the Phi Delta Theta house for
harassment, the University s
Interfraternitv Council can re
late to that problem
"Hut. these an- individual
members within a house, and I
think that students realize that
these people are not character
isti( ot the house,” said Law
son.
"All houses are representa
tive of the greek system.” said
Oberhue. "When an incident
with one house comes up in the
press, it reflects on the whole
system, whether the accused is
guiltv or not.”
As for future growth, greek
representatives anticipate the
system will continue to appeal
to more and more University
students. However, there are no
plans for additional sororities
or fraternities on campus for
the next few years.
"The numbers will keep in
creasing, but not like in the
past.” predicts Oberhue. "I
don't think the University will
take on another house for at
least four more years.”
