University of Pittsburgh
 

Hi. I don't know if your sorority is open to expansion, but if so, consider the University of Pittsburgh. I am not at all involved in engineering, but I teach writing at Pitt. I speak with students often and in depth. Again and again, I've heard that Pitt engineering provides a difficult atmosphere for female students. It sounds like these women could use the professional and social support that your organization provides. Something to think about...

Hi, Louisa May!

I am currently volunteering on our International Expansion Committee. I will pass along the information!

Thanks!

I know a few girls there who would love a chapter! :)

Pardon my crash, but isn't there already an engineering sorority at Pitt? Or was one of a few years ago? There was definitely one when I was an undergrad (98-02) because there were discussions about them joining panhel and participating in rush (never happened)

You are correct. This is why Alpha Omega Epsilon isn't considering expansion to Pitt at this time.

Oh...I had no idea. I'll mention it when I speak with my female engineering students.

Question for AOEforme:
Ohio State University has both the Lambda chapter of A.O.E. and the Beta Chapter of Phi Rho. How did this happen? I mean how did our international decide to go ahead and colonize when there was another national engineering sorority there?
I'm also curious as to how they interact....

I'm PM-ing you :)

Would you mind sending it to me, too? I am interested.
