Expansion at Miami University
Miami University of Ohio's Panhellenic is discussing expanding to allow another sorority by 2006! Thoughts, ideas, requests? We currently have:
Alpha Chi Omega Alpha Delta Pi Alpha Gamma Delta Alpha Omicron Pi Alpha Phi Alpha Xi Delta Chi Omega Delta Delta Delta Delta Gamma Delta Zeta Gamma Phi Beta Kappa Alpha Theta Kappa Delta Kappa Kappa Gamma Phi Mu Pi Beta Phi Zeta Tau Alpha We expanded last fall with Phi Mu, and Alpha Epsilon Phi closed this year. |
If I remember correctly, when I was a student in the early 80s, Miami had a chapter of all 26 NPC groups and all were large chapters, although not as large as they are today so whoever was chosen would be reactivating a dormant chapter. That is always special.
|
I am pretty sure that DPhiE has never colonized at Miami University of Ohio.
|
I'm not sure that we have either, unless Miami went by another name. I could be wrong though.
I DO however, hope that Phi Sig will be in the running!! What a great opportunity! |
dphie and phi sig were both in the running when phi mu was chosen.
mel, do you know why they are expanding when not all chapters are at total? |

One of Panhellenic's goals is to make chapter sizes smaller for closer sisterhood, thus bringing in another sorority. Although I think it would be great to have another chapter on campus, I think it might harm the smaller chapters.

What other chapters have recently closed?

ASA and Sigma Kappa both closed while i was there.

What The??
http://www.mustudent.muohio.edu/arti...04&s=front&n=4 125 fewer women going through rush, 3 chapters lost in 4 years, chapters not at total and they want to expand??? This just sounds bad all around and like it would definitely kill the smaller chapters. Unless they don't give a crap about that. and yes, I am bitter much LOL. |
what is total there currently? is panhellenic hoping to decrease the total? if there are lots of houses under total, and so many recent closings, then it makes sense to lower total without bringing on a new group....and seeing how that affects the chapters currently at the school. that is just my two cents.
|
I believe AEPhi is closing at the end of the school year. Also Zeta recolonized (successfully) before SK closed.
|
have they started looking into certain orgs yet????
|
I'm not sure exactly what total is, but all but one of the sororities are above total. All of the chapters are strong, but very large. Kappa, ADPi, and DG all have around 190 members, and the other chapters aren't too far behind.
I personally am a little concerned that expansion may harm the sorority that isn't at total, especially since they have improved so much in recruitment lately. However, I don't think that Phi Mu's expansion in 2003 negatively affected other chapters. I don't think they've started looking into specific groups as of yet. |
