![]() After we have guys living in the house again, we start generating cash back to Delta Xi and start to get ourselves back to a financially sound organization. Once the new group is established in the Spring of 2017, they will then become active and can start living in the house in the Fall of 2017. Per John Bohman, each time this was done the group came back with more numbers and were a stronger bunch of guys. One of his jobs during some of those years was this actual thing of going on campus to start or re-organize a chapter.Īt Wesleyan, Theta Chi has shut down and re-organized twice, and KA has done the same once.

We will start in the spring of 2017, and the new group of Brothers will become active and start living in the house the fall of 2017.

When we get ready to start recruiting a new band of brothers, the Chi Phi National will send 2 or more people to Wesleyan for 6 weeks or so, and then they will send another person for a week or two, and then another for a week or two. This limits the number of brothers that can live in the house. Therefore, we feel that Chi Phi has an attraction for guys wanting to get out of the dorms, and live off campus.Īnother item you may not be aware of is, the Coaches of all sports at Wesleyan have banded together and do not allow their athletes to live in a Fraternity house if they receive scholarships to attend and play at Wesleyan. ![]() The college tries to fill up the dorms and not let people live off campus. With WVWC’s student body growing, there should be an opportunity for additional growth in Greek/fraternity membership.Īt Wesleyan, fraternities are one of the few ways students are allowed to live off campus. Greek membership as a percentage of total students has been stable, and has actually shown some growth in recent years. Each time these chapters closed and reorganized, their alumni used the down time to repair, remodel and improve their chapter houses. At present, their numbers are very strong. Theta Chi and KA have both closed down and reorganized with much success. The four other fraternities are thriving.
