OK Tom. Here’s what these unhappy women should do. First, they need to go through recruitment and see first hand what it’s all about. (Who knows, if the group is large enough then they may have the strength to make said chapter what they want it to be. Or, they may realize that things weren’t so bad after all.) Second, if what they see is not what they truly desire then they should try to form an interest group. Third, the interest group should function under the guidelines for any other student organization. (What about the single –sex issue? Well, if there is enough interest then the university will usually work with that especially if the group may be temporary. (I know that sentence structure was atrocious but I am tired.)) Fourth, if the group can prove themselves in terms of numbers, academics and philanthropy then the university and/or Panhellenic Association may open for extension. Fifth, if the women in question are not up for all that then I hope that they are able to find happiness somewhere else.
