his past year has been a trying time for everyone around the world, and it is no different to those in the fraternal world. In 2020, we paused our Spring expansion at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill and pushed back our return to the University of Texas. Thankfully, UNC - Chapel Hill has agreed to restart our project for Spring 2021 and we have a return to Texas for Fall 2021. In addition to Chapel Hill and Texas, we are happy to announce that we will be having expansions at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in Spring 2022 and UNC - Wilmington in Fall 2022! We are excited to join these communities and bring brand new chapters to Acacia.
Over this past year, our Headquarters’ Staff have worked on strategies to help our chapters adopt a recruitment system that members can use to have success year in and year out without recreating the wheel. This is why we partnered with Phired Up for two programs: The Recruitment Coaching Community along with the Undergraduate and Advisor Certified Recruiter program. Going into Fall 2021, our chapters will be facing one of the most important and exciting semesters in recent memory. Most of our campus partners are reporting in-person operations for the new academic year, which means students that were unable to join a fraternity last year are hungry to get involved on campus. The programs listed above, as well as the Chapter Coaching Model, are in place to help our chapters succeed. We remain focused on growing our Fraternity going into the new normal. If you have any interest in being a part of future expansion projects or have an idea for a university you would like Acacia Headquarters staff to look into, please email Director of Organizational Growth and Services Ryan Ferguson at rferguson@acacia.org.
