There are 9 NPCs that are not currently at Alabama. 4 have been there before, but are presently dormant:
Alpha Xi Delta (1927-1972 and 1981-1988) Delta Phi Epsilon (1927-1932 and 1953-1973) Sigma Kappa (1932-1943 and 1988-1995) Alpha Epsilon Phi (1948-1968) Then there are 5 that have never been there: Alpha Sigma Alpha Alpha Sigma Tau Theta Phi Alpha Sigma Sigma Sigma Phi Sigma Sigma DPhiE recently presented, and they were not selected. My own opinion is that there are only 2 viable options for successful expansion at Alabama. In the past, these groups may not have been "southern" enough. But now, with the Greek boom in the south, they should have ample alumnae support and name recognition. It is still a lot to ask though - that is a ton of money to invest on something that isn't a sure thing. Even adding 2 chapters wouldn't alleviate much of the crowding at Alabama. |
At one point in all this expansion at Bama, one still owned the house they had lived in there. But neither elected to pursue the opportunity to present any of the times the campus has been open. I wonder if either is kicking themselves now????

Whether or not any of this has anything to do with Jewish High Holy Days, I have no idea but this year they fall in the two weeks AFTER Labor Day - a month after recruitment. And since Bid Day is on Assumption Day this year, I assume they should move that for the Catholics? |

From the talk I've heard, general consensus seems to agree with you Irishpipes on the 2 viable options thing

I am just having the hardest time relating. Our two biggest chapters pledge 30 something men a PC. Most are in the teens (although many chapters have two rushes per year.

The above post bring something up. We focus so much on sororities we don't really talk about the fraternity side. At Ole Miss, Alabama, etc are there fraternities thut have membership in the hundreds? Or are there just lots more fraterprnities and they have double mixers or double event pairings?

http://greekaffairs.ua.edu/documents...radeReport.pdf Even (back in the distant day) when sorority quota was around 40, fraternities pledged far fewer and their membership was probably around half that of sororities. |
Our fraternity averaged 65-70 brothers when I was there, but it never felt crowded. The other two houses I considered joining during Rush were slightly bigger, and I took that into consideration.
I have a few questions pertaining to these very large sorority chapters. 1) Where does everyone sleep? Do the pledges sleep in one big room, or basement? 2) How do they feed everyone? That's a lot of food for 150+ women. 3) Are there weeknight curfews/lights out times? I shared a room my first year with two other pledges, and we had enough space for bunk beds + 1 single bed, a couch, TV, walk-in closet, and we even had a coffeemaker and mini fridge. |

New members of most sorority chapters -- especially huge chapters -- don't move into the house. Even with the enormous new sorority houses at Alabama, where chapter size may be 350 - 400, the chapter house may only accommodate 75 or so girls living in (typically officers and upper-upper-classmen). The public areas/facilities are huge, however. |
