Emory Expansion?
 

I just saw that Alpha Phi is among the final 3 for expansion at Emory! Does anyone have any insight on what the timeframe is, etc? It'd be so great to have a new chapter!

Emory created an extension committee, comprised of five students and three staff members, to choose from 11 interested sororities.

The committee met with the representatives and determined that the Alpha Phi, Alpha Chi Omega and Gamma Phi Beta were potential candidates for the extension.

According to Richter, Alpha Phi and Alpha Chi Omega sororities were selected as potential candidates because they were once members of the Greek community at Emory, giving them an established alumni base.

Gamma Phi Beta, which has never had a chapter at Emory, was selected because of its strength as an organization and its substantial national alumni base.

In Fall 2005, members of the chosen sorority from other schools will help establish a base membership for the new organization.

Richter hopes that with the help of the newly recruited members, the new sorority will be ready for spring recruitment.

“[The new sorority] will probably participate in Novemberfest as a full group, and the goal is for them to do 100 percent of recruitment on their own, with maybe some help from some of their advisors,” Richter said.

So the school will choose which sorority they want this spring, and next fall they will start recruiting?
