UNC Charlotte Fraternity and Sorority Life Announces a new Panhellenic Sorority! The University of North Carolina at Charlotte Panhellenic Association (PHA), upon the recommendation, of the Extension Committee has selected Kappa Delta Sorority to be the next Panhellenic Sorority at UNC Charlotte and to join the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. The process to invite a new sorority to campus began in April 2010. Thirteen sororities from the National Panhellenic Conference submitted extension packets for consideration to present to campus
in fall of 2010 said Michelle Guobadia, Director for Fraternity and Sorority Life. Four sororities were invited to present to the campus over the past four weeks. The extension committee, comprised of the PHA President Nicole Kral, other Panhellenic women, faculty/staff, chapter advisors and members of the Charlotte Panhellenic Alumnae, made their final recommendation Monday, November 22, 2010 and the Panhellenic Association voted on the recommendation that same evening. Kappa Delta Sorority will be the first to join Panhellenic in the fall of 2011.
The extension committee also made the recommendation to “stack” two of the other chapters that were considered as finalists and will invite those sororities to colonize at UNC Charlotte at a later date. Alpha Chi Omega will colonize in 2014 and Kappa Alpha Theta will join Panhellenic in 2017. This is the first time in 20 years that the Panhellenic Association has opened for extension and invited a new sorority to come to campus. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life is very excited to see this process continue and watch our Panhellenic and Greek community grow over the next 10 years.
