University of Delaware Expansion Presentation
 

Sisters-

Wanted to let you know that ADPI is one of three groups selected to present at the University of Delaware which is open for expansion. The presentation will be on October 2nd at the U of D at 6pm. Alumnae and collegiate members are welcome to attend (but please let me know if you would like to so I can provide directions etc).

In case you're curious, the two other groups that will be presenting are Delta Delta Delta and Delta Phi Epsilon.

PM if you would like more information.

Loyally,
Renee

Keeping my fingers crossed that we are the ones chosen :D.

Question: if we get chosen and the colony initiates would they be our Theta Gamma chapter?

Yep because we have never been there in the past so this would not be a recolonization...

Wait - if I'm not mistaken, we haven't been at Sonoma State (where there is a group of women who've gone through Alpha ceremony, and I think recruitment for these women is next week) - so wouldn't these women (if they are chartered first) be Theta Gamma?

So what would be next? Theta Delta?

Best wishes to the presenting team! :) Let us know how it goes if you hear anything

Yay for possible expansion.......
 

It doesn't happen around me....but man, if it did, I'd be there!!!!

Keep us posted!

Yep I'll be there! Tuesday night - be there by 5:30pm with our presentation starting at 6pm- if you need info on where specifically, PM me :)

Best of luck to our sisters presenting at the University of Delaware! I have never seen an expansion presentation, but I would guess that they are fantastic. Also, thanks to all of the sisters on the east coast for going to support the presenters!

Details, Ladies, Details!!!! We're going to want the whole story!!! :)

Thanks for coming :)

We had a good turnout of alumnae and also some collegiate members from Beta Phi and Gamma Pi chapters. It was fun to meet each other and now we cross our fingers in hopes that we get selected to colonize there.

Congrats to the presenting team - sounds like everyone did a great job! Crossing my fingers!!!!

When do we expect a verdict?

Have Tri-Delt & DPhiE presented already?

DPhiE presents today and Delta Delta Delta next week (a rescheduled time as they were supposed to go this past Monday)- not sure on when the decision will be made but clearly not before the end of next week at the earliest...

More soon...

Thank you for keeping us posted!

OMG it's like waiting for bid day.

I would LOVE to see an expansion presention but since all 3 state schools have (or all will have in 09) an ADPi chapter, not going to happen anytime soon. And I'm guessing we won't be giving a presentation for DG's recolonization because the university already knows it's coming.

So DPhiE presented the night after us and TriDelt presented this past Monday night - so now we wait... Panhellenic meets Monday to discuss and then will vote the following Monday- keep thinking positive thoughts!

Breathe deeply... think pleasant thoughts... breathe deeply...

Adding my pleasant thoughts to the chain....so by the end of the month, we *should* know! :)

more pleasant thoughts coming from Texas!

Anyone heard that we are bumping DG up a year?

Might I inquire as to where you are getting this information? I only ask because I have been helping with the recolonization effort for DG and I haven't heard anything from our Team Leader saying that they (EO/GC) were pushing it up a year. Plus, I am pretty sure (but obviously don't quote me on this) that the house is still in a lease to the University until next year sometime. Also, I don't think renovations have started yet (but again don't quote me).

Who is your team leader? Another PH group will be allowed to colonize ahead of us if we do not recolonize next year. We will know after mid-November if it'll happen or not.

Again, I'm not sure where you are getting this and you didn't answer my question.

DG is my chapter of initiation so obviously I'm going to be "overprotective".

I don't think it is appropriate to start spreading rumors about it on the net.

And yes, I call it a rumor, because my Team Leader or Phx Recolonization Chair, has NOT sent out an email to anyone letting us know this.

I'm sorry if I sound rude, but honestly, I'm not taking the word of a former TCC and most importantly I don't feel it should be discussed furthermore online until it is either proven true or false.

-off my soapbox.

Just because someone's username indicates their office or former office, it doesn't mean they really are/were.

And I agree with you, ASUADPi, I don't think it should be discussed on a public web site. I also don't think other expansion information or presentations should be posted. But that's just my 2 cents for the day.

No worries, ladies! Sorry to bring it up...I'll keep it off the board. We'll see what happens.

Anyone know about U of D? I tried searching the U of D site and there was nothing there. I even checked the other two sororities official sites and nothing was there.

I wonder if they haven't made a decision yet?

FYI- we don't have anything on our site either.

We're heading to Delaware!

Where did you find your information? I am very excited about the possibility of another ADPi chapter in the Northeast!

YIPPPPPEEEEE!!!!!!

I had heard this, but wanted to hear a confirmation! Good luck to our colonization team!!

I got an email today and it is official! :D

Yeah!!!!!!

So when does colonization begin?

Yes, and is there someone who can let us know what we can do to help, once the ladies are selected?

I think it would be really nice if we got into the habit of sending letters or such to new colonies or chapters that need a lift in their spirits. Anyone with me?

Yeah!!!
 

GO FIGHTIN' BLUE HENS!

Honeychile, I can help if needed.

This is so awesome!!!!

I am so excited to hear this too! I just went to the ADPi website and found this information...

"Grand Council is pleased to announce that Alpha Delta Pi has been invited to colonize at the University of Delaware this spring. The University of Delaware has over 16,000 undergraduate students and is ranked #71 in the "US News and World Report" listing of national universities. We are thrilled to be joining a strong Greek community that is comprised of eight other NPC groups. If you are interested in learning more or would like to recommend a woman for membership..."



(I know this is such a random message since I have not posted in months- love to you all!)

Yep it's true
 

So it's true and here's what we know so far (I was named the PD yesterday)-

We will host an open house presentation for interested PNMs on November 15th (time to be determined) and would LOVE any collegians and alumnae in the area to attend if possible. If you can, PM me and I will make sure to include you on the details when we have them.

We will participate in the first round of formal recruitment and then drop off and hold our recruitment following the end of formal recruitment. U of D's forma recruitment actually falls on the same weekend as District III's DLC (mid February). We will also need alumnae and collegians for the recruitment so I will share that information when it's available.

Thus far I have a list of about 12 alumnae interested in being advisors so the DTD and I will be conducting interviews with the candidates. If you know someone in the area that would be interested, please let me know.

More soon!!!

This is fantastic news! Best of luck on the colonization, and keep us posted!

Yay for new colonies!!!!!

I'd love to send a letter, whenever we get some more info on where to send.....

Wow - quick moving! :)

So excited (and ADPiSAI - I LOVED getting your text message at work!)
