Ask BatesUAB or dfarr

4 IFC fraternities 4 NPC sororities

I can't keep up w/ the NPHC groups. I think Deltas are back on campus but the Omegas aren't. Not really sure since I'm alumni.

Several people on the board were/are Greeks.

I just didn't know. I've never heard much about it. I know there were attempts to start one -- several times -- when I was an undergrad in the '80s. And when I worked there in the early '90s, there were some groups off campus, but I didn't think there was/were much of an organized system.

Of course, I have a vastly different perspective of that now, having most recently worked at two universities with huge Greek systems. MTSU's Greek row stretches two city blocks, with houses most millionaires would love to have.

Umm, I know my chapter has been at UAB since 1985, and we aren't the oldest chapter at UAB.

There were Greek chapters there in the '80s, there just wasn't a Greek "system," to my knowledge.

four Frats?

I know theta chi went under after I left..but the rest?

I remember we had alpha tau omega, tai kappa epsilon, lamda chi alpha, delta sigma, pie kappa phi, theta chi, and kappa sigma.

What's left?

Did gena finally have her way?

No, there has always been a system, it's just very small.

ATO went under a couple years ago. Pi Kappa Phi, Lambda Chi, Delta Sig, and TKE are still around.
