ADPi Selected to Present at Washington & Lee
 
I just got this e-mail in my inbox. Wish I could be there, but I'm moving to Phoenix next week.

I am full of holiday cheer today...we have been chosen to present at Washington & Lee University in Lexington, VA!!!

Many of you may recall that we presented in 2005 and of those groups, we were the only sorority asked back :-)

Lexington is about 50 miles north of Roanoke, VA. We do not have as many sisters in the area as we would like so please let me know of any sisters in the surrounding areas so we are going to need more Alumnae support. We are asking sisters to please drive a longer distance to help make this presentation as successful as University of Delaware. We were overwhelmed with the amazing turnout of Alumnae in Delaware and hope to make this another success story.

The presentation will be held on the Washington and Lee University campus in Lexington, VA at 7:30 pm on January 31, 2008. The room is TBD.

This is great news! What a wonderful time for ADPi! Do you have any details on what other NPC groups were invited? Best of luck and violets to our sisters who are presenting.

If I had to pick the top five campuses where I wish ADPi had a chapter, Washington & Lee would DEFINITELY be one of them!! Woo Hoo!!!

Best of luck to the Presentation Committee!!

What happened in 2005? Did Washington and Lee choose another sorority? If so, they are already looking for expansion, damn. But YEAH for us and the possibility of another chapter, whatever designation it would be. I've lost track :D

Just saw this.

Yes, in 2005 Washington and Lee chose another sorority, but for a variety of reasons extension never actually happened. I'll keep my mouth shut on that one. I'm not even sure it's open knowledge of who was selected back then. The groups that presented were Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Phi, and Alpha Delta Pi.

W&L Panhel began with 3 chapters (Chi O, Theta, KKG) in 1989. Then Pi Phi came in 1992 and KD in 1997. Also there was a failed extension in 1991 I think where they actually did get to the point of recruitment but the chapter was never installed. That was way before my time.

I did go to all the presentations back then--I was a senior and outgoing president of my sorority. I can't remember exactly when my term ended relative to the presentations--I think Panhel had chosen the finalists while I was pres and then the actual presentations/selections were after officer turnover... Congrats on being asked back again!

If you have any questions that I can answer about W&L I'd be happy to.

Thanks for answering my questions :D

Does anyone know the outcome of the presentations?

Do you mean the presentations in 2005 or the presentations in 2008? I don't think the ones from this year occur until later in the month....

I know the outcome of the presentations in 2005, as do probably most women that were on campus during that period... I'm not sure the decision was ever formally announced to the media/general public though. It's not a secret by any means, but I don't feel comfortable sharing that information widely.

Hey y'all - I'm a current Pi Phi at W&L and I know we're really excited to see everyone's presentations and at the possibility of a new chapter! W&L has a fantastic greek system - the five sororities on campus just went through recruitment with each one getting at or above quota. I'd be happy to answer questions about W&L in general and the greek system here as best I can. Good luck with your presentation!

I also got an email about this a few days ago, since I live in a neighboring area. I can't attend, but if any of you can, you should contact Torrey Newcomb Smith (Zeta Psi)
Alumnae Communications Director III. You can find her email address if you log-on to the our website.

Good luck at W&L!

best of luck to the expansion team at W&L!

I hope someone will be able to report back how things went :)

breathesgelatin 01-27-2008 07:34 AM

I hope all the ADPi alums/actives in the region that can attend, will!

I am so excited to see how expansion goes and I may return next year to help out and see what happens! Good luck to ADPi!
