I have several friends who are Tri Sigmas at Elon...very strong chapter.

I wish they'd expand at my school, it all sounds very exciting.

Here's a question, CJ...how do you feel being such a young chapter and already having a new chapter come in? I know you said there was a need, but I'm just curious if your chapter likes being the new house on campus or you're relieved not to be, or anything like that.

Keep us posted!

Hey Lil'Hannah

I just wanted to tell you I like the quote in your signature. Ida Shaw Martin is actually one of the founders of my sorority (Tri Delta). She used to go by Sarah Ida Shaw. Just something I thought I'd share. Have a good day:)

Wow, one GLO every 2 years, that fast. But as you said it is needed. Good job.

I'm in WhiteDaisy's chapter, I am really excited about a new chapter coming on campus. DG has done really well and is right up there with the other 5 chapters on campus. In fact, many of the freshmen on campus don't realize that we just started last fall. It's been really exciting and I am looking forward to having another sorority on campus so other girls can have the opportunity that I have had!

I'll keep everyone updated as I know things.

I have mixed emotions about a new chapter coming to campus. I think it is an AMAZING opportunity for women on campus. However, recruitment numbers were down slightly from last year (but bid matching was higher) and the number of women being admitted to NCSU is increasing. So hopefully with good PR and everything we can bring the numbers going through recruitment up as the number of women increases.

As a DG (the "new" group on campus), it's just like DGWolf said, a lot of freshmen don't even realize we are new. During recruitment this past year it both hurt us and helped up. Some people wanted to be members of a more "established" chapter...others wanted to be a part of something new. I suppose it is logical that something like that would happen.

I will not say who voted what, but the Panhellenic vote was as follows:
2 Chapters voted NO to expansion
4 Chapters voted YES to expansion

There are several positives and negatives either way.

In any case though, I think a new sorority on campus will be a great addition. The DG's were welcomed on campus with open arms and I have no doubt that the new group will reveive just as much of a welcome as we did! :D

I believe Theta has to be invited by a college's Panhellenic before they will consider colonizing. I would love to see a new Theta chapter in NC. Please contact nationals :)

Haha, I think you take me too seriously. I'm just giving everyone the heads up. NCSU's Panhellenic will (of course) contact all of the chapters and handle the process nationally. I do know that there are some people on CG that are involved at the national level...I just though I'd give them the heads up. I, by no means, am saying anything on behalf of our Panhellenic Council directly...I'm just telling you guys as a member of a Greek organization that is excited to see another group coming to campus soon!

I want Theta or Phi Mu to come on---

I was in Alpha Phi the year we closed. We had 55 girls and 12,000$ in dept from poor financial decisions and advising. I personally do not want them to be allowed back on campus because of the situations that we closed on. I got the impression that their intention was to close and try to come back on after we had graduated rather than assist the chapter. We never were sent an ELC or received International guidance with rush, other than when we were founded. We were colonized in 1990, supposed to close in '96, but wasn't because of change of heart-

DZ was colonized a few years after we were. They were struggling to get into the upper 70's when we closed, but seem to be doing really well after a strong COB last year

A couple of groups were adamently opposed to bring on KD or Tri Delt because they felt that their strong southern reputation would give their "elitest chapters" too much rush competition. Not that DG isn't an awesome group of girls, but its one of the first chapters in NC.

It was pretty heated in deciding who to allow on> I really want to know who voted yes and no CJ

Regardless who comes on, the main thing I see is the Difference of the # of Fraternitys and Soroitys.

We have the same thing at my old Alma Mater. 3 Soros and 6 Fraternitys.

I have discussed this a couple of times with the School Greek Life person.

Ha, well not until the currents get their #'s up.

Short sightedness is not an eye affiliction.

We have 6500 students and maybe 7/8 % Greeks. That tells me something!

Okay, it took Google for it to dawn on me that NCSU was NC State :)

I only think of NC State as basketball or football teams, lol.

Oh well.. it would be great to our 6th AGD chapter!!

Also- the majority of Fraternities at NCSU are really small. Some range in the 10's while most I think are still around 20-30.

There are a few that have 70-80s members.

Its kinda sad.

I knew an Alpha Phi while I was at NC State and she was a real credit to the sorority - strong, great character, a lot of fun. If there'd been a chapter at the school I transferred to I would have joined Alpha Phi.

Works out OK though because it turns out I was a true Phi Mu :D

Anyway, it's a shame to hear they closed, but I'm looking forward to hearing about the expansion process.

it would be soooo awesome if we could get KD at NCSU!!!

--praying KD gets chosen!!!

KDs are hot.
