"You can do it!!!!!!" ~ Dude from The Waterboy

It's too bad you changed your signature line. The old one (I think it was about something being the new black) fit you so well.

If my kids were acting like you (and several other posters), this is what I would tell them: Perhaps you should tell oldu that you feel slighted when he overlooks NPHC chapters in his posts. Then YOU should do some work YOURSELF and add the information that you think is missing. Instead, you have spent pages complaining without ever adding a single bit of relevant data to the thread. (I personally would be interested to know where NPHC chapters fit in the discussion.)

So many people in life would prefer to wallow around in "it's not fair" and "you owe me ______" than improve the situation.

BITCH


































is the new black. That was my signature. I'm happy to remind you of it. :)


Lucky for me, I'm not your child.

The point has soared over your head completely.

FWIW, irishpipes does threads like this and no one has ever complained about omission because she titles it "NPC Recruitment" or the like.

But oldu's threads never say most NIC chapters, most NPC chapters...it's just assumed. Not only NPHC groups but service greeks, professional greeks, multicultural greeks are omitted.

Why should anyone other than oldu do the work? He takes it upon himself to create these threads, if he's wrong he needs to go back and correct it.

Not only that, the whole thread is faulty because it doesn't include closed chapters. If we're looking at colonizing at a PBK-having school as a sign of what makes a GLO "better", shouldn't we look at ALL the chapters that have been colonized?

Who knows? Maybe GLO chapters at schools with PBK are MORE likely to close!

Get over it.

And I think the is the lesson that we should all carry from this thread. PBK a threat to social greek orgs everywhere! :D

:wassat:

The chapter lists for Delta can be found by going to each region's website and accessing the chapter lists from there. With so many chapters, it makes the most sense to split them up this way. Links to each regional website can be found on the national website here.

:)

oldu, since you referrenced this thread in your other one, I got inspired and read through all nine pages of this one. I'm not sure if you know how the NPC expansion process works, but we can only expand to schools that have declared themselves open to expansion. It does not matter if every student there has a 4.0, is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and a Rhodes Scholar- if the campus is not open for expansion, no NPC sorority will colonize there.

But that doesn't make matching of NPCs to campuses random. It's not.

The Delta Sigma Theta site does not have a complete listing of chapters. Only part of the regions have a current chapter list. However, even those that do make no mention of several chapters listed in old Baird's Manuals which means either there is a substantial number of inactive chapters or that even those lists are not complete.

Huge fraternities Kappa Sig & TKE have a complete list of all chapters ever chartered and whether they are active or inactive. Slightly smaller Sigma Pi goes one step farther and gives a short history of each chapter. It sure would be helpful if every fraternity and sorority provided that type of information on their site.

Those in Baird's not listed on a regional site could be a: retired, b: inactive, c: or suspended. Baird's does not trump our own records.

Was he asking for clarity because he was confused or was he trying to school us eventhough knowledgeable members gave him the direction he requested?

oldu:
The Midwest Region is the only of our 7 regions that I could not find a chapter listing on their site. The other 6 have an easily found chapter listing and only 1 of these regions does not list the college/university name beside the chapter designation. These lists are accurate, as ladygreek stated. Good luck.

I'm sorry (or not ...), but I really don't think that the developers and/or designers for any GLO's website really had this kind of research in mind, or are particularly concerned about it. That's just not the purpose of the sites, and the usability of a website for obsessive-compulsive GLO-comparison research isn't one of the criteria that any normal person browsing cares at all about.

Furthermore, for the record, Delta has over 900 chapters, many more than Kappa Sigma (234 according to their national website) or TKE (approximately 300 according to their national website). They are both wonderful organizations, but they have different considerations about how they organize their websites and chapter information. (And honestly, I doubt that obsessive-compulsive GLO-comparison research is one of their considerations either ... even if their way DOES happen to make it easier. It's a coincidence, imagine that!)

:rolleyes:

I took it as the latter: I went to the websites and even those with listings didn't seem to be accurate according Baird's.

Funny, I had never heard of Baird's until GC. But I am happy to know it does include us.

I think for the sake of apples to apples you should quote the number of collegiate chapters in your comparison. Especially since this discussion is only about college campuses.

I am a web developer, specifically the webmaster for our region, and I approve this message.

this part too.
