I'm getting uncomfortable with this thread in general. Everyone is talking about what sororities would be best to colonize there, the alumni support they have, when they could colonize, etc. Furthermore, all the talk that Alabama wants one new group and one old group to colonize is just hearsay but some people are taking it as the gospel word. I dunno...I just think it could be dangerous. It may ruin a group's chances at colonization before it even began if some higher-ups at Alabama saw the thread and thought to themselves, "Yeah, I agree that ABC wouldn't be a good sorority here because they don't have enough chapters in the state."

Expansion at any SEC school is exciting but speculating about any groups' chances before the school is even open for expansion (or heck, even after they're open) can really come back and bite the groups in the butt. It's happened before. GC is more widely read that you'd expect.

Can we stop the talk about what group would be best to colonize there? If and when it happens, it's ultimately up to Panhellenic at the University of Alabama to decide which group would have the best chance - not GreekChat.
i second that
