Going with DubaisSis' reasoning, there is at least one school that matches fairly well (but the lost chapter was a few years ago). I know the school that comes to mind because of relatives. IF it is that school, the expansion process is extremely slow and deliberate. The administration has not been particularly fond of Greeks and has taken a range of actions over the years. Returning to the OP's query, women at that school did not find homes, then it was for standard reasons (dropped or released). They aren't homeless due to to an arbitrary cap.

As a Pennsylvanian, I agree with you. :D

Exactly my point :D

When I was in college in PA, I met someone from another state (I forget which - maybe Missouri?), and I told him I grew up in New England. He said, "Oh, I've never been to Massachusetts." I was a little confused and told him I was from New Hampshire. Then HE looked confused and said, "I thought New England was in Massachusetts..."

If someone isn't from the northeast, I don't really expect them to know much about the area. However, people who are there KNOW their New England states and whether or not they live in one.

Ha ha…. I’ve had a similar thing happen. I once mentioned “growing up in New England” to a non-Northeasterner, and they said “You're not from New England. You said you were from Connecticut.”

No respect, I tell ya!

I know there are some Nebraska folks on here who can clarify, but Nebraska has some quirky formula where Lincoln girls are "free" and the remainder are bed rush or something like that. The difference between Nebraska and Indiana is that PNMs aren't suffering due to the odd formula. Placement numbers at Nebraska have consistently remained very high.

As for the speculation that this is the very, very, special snowflake guaranteed placement school, I don't think so. It just expanded (NPC) this week.

Well, some areas on the edges of New England won't self identify that way, specifically some from far SW Connecticut (who are considerably more likely to root for the Jets than the Patriots) and a few that I've met from up near Lake Champlain (NW Vermont) who are closer to Montreal than Boston.

Yes, but if someone from Connecticut says, "I'm from New England," that shouldn't confuse people, as CT is, in fact, a New England state. The point she was making (I believe) is that many people believe that New England is a city.

I blame the Patriots :p

I have heard people attending college in Northeastern New York describe their schools as New England colleges. In terms of academic culture, they may be.

This is the answer to everything in the world.

I don't know how y'all figure this stuff out!

I've been able to figure out 1 school in the who knows how many years I've been on greekchat and it was this year!

I suck at this. LOL.

People in SW Connecticut are sure to be NY fans (Jets, Giants, Mets, Yankees, etc...) because that is what they get on tv. You don't get the CT standard stations (Nh/Hartford) on cable unless you live in New Haven county or North. That is not at all a definitive evaluation of what is and is not New England; )

Thanks for the clarification.

The school that comes to mind is not the snowflake school but one based on an expansive definition of "New England". In any event, the OP's claim is, as many have noted, inaccurate.

Last year a kid from Mass and I had a competition with our floormates in our dorm to see what six states they thought comprised New England...apparently Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware are all New England states! I was so frustrated I wanted to throw clam chowder at someone (but that would be a waste of perfectly good clam chowder).

Also, my aunt in Maine once bought an educational toy that cheerily chirped "Delaware is the smallest state!" whenever you played with it. I was NOT HAPPY about that. /rhode island-sized rant

LOL. So true. As long as it's the New England kind, of course..

And here's a fun trivia fact: While Rhode Island is the smallest, it has the longest official state name.

If anyone can tell me how/why, you get a cookie!

Unfortunately, you don't get to select it from a cookie table.
