As a TX DG who was a temporary transplant to B'ham several years ago, I have to agree with several of the ladies above - if there is to be expansion, a strong team and lots of planning need to go into this with tons of support from alum and collegiate chapters in the region. As much as I would love to see expansion, there are definitely opinions about DG's former "reputation" amongst friends of mine who were part of the system at Bama. Several ladies had heard very unflattering things about Delta Gamma (not willing to repeat what they heard- and it is probably untrue) during their previous tenure on campus.There are girls who are groomed to be "old row" from birth and if a chapter with a previously questionable rep recolonizes, many of them will be "educated" to steer clear. Not everyone approaches rush with an open mind or no connections! In my opinion, Bama is a tough campus.
