re: VU/Sigma Pi
TSteven, you are correct about your VU/SP post.
The situation was that VU used to be a 4-year college, and Sigma Pi
was founded there. Then VU became a 2-year college. NIC rules (at that
time) forbade chapters at 2-year colleges, but eventually an exception
was made just for Sigma Pi at VU so they could reopen (or keep open)
their Alpha chapter.
Now the NIC does not have a rule against chapters at 2-year colleges.
As Tom Earp mentioned, LXA considered expanding at 2-year colleges
a few years ago (I was at that Gen. Assembly). Before GA, when the
issue was being informally discussed, I sent an email to LXA HQ:
"do NIC rules prohibit this? They used to!" Someone at HQ checked it out with
NIC and found their rules no longer prohibit this.
Still I don't think its a good idea in general....2-year students/colleges
are very different than most 4-year....just think of the turnover!
No one in the chapter would be active more than 2 years!
