HOW TO START A PROVISIONAL CHAPTER
Typically, expansions fall into three categories: interest group, local fraternity affiliation, and national expansion. Their definitions are as follows:
CHAPTER EXPANSION CHECKLIST
When choosing where to expand, Phi Sigma Kappa considers a number of factors, including, but certainly not limited to:
- Does the institution and Greek community support expansion?
- Has Phi Sigma Kappa ever had a chapter there?
- Are the area alumni interested?
- Is the campus growing, and are there plans for more construction on campus?
INTEREST GROUP
An interest group is comprised of a number of men who are interested in bringing Phi Sigma Kappa to campus. An interest group can be as small as 10-15 men, or as large as 40-50.
LOCAL FRATERNITY AFFILIATION
This type of expansion comes about when a local campus fraternity contacts Phi Sigma Kappa seeking to merge with our organization.
NATIONAL EXPANSION
This type of expansion involves staff members building a colony from the ground up, from recruiting founding fathers and supporting alumni to appointing and training new colony officers. This type comprises the majority of Phi Sigma Kappa’s expansions and can be the result of interest from local alumni and/or the institution.
