Personally, I've got my eye on St. Augustines.....they came from NC to the Section 83 Conference at UVa, just to foster brotherhood. They are some of the most enthusiastic students I've met in a long time, just from the 10-15 minutes I spent talking to them.
Also, don't count out Regent....with Quala as their Advisor, you KNOW they have their stuff together!!  |
Too bad on Virginia State, I thought they were a PG already, is this just an issue with the charter application?
*From my observations*, enthusiasm tends not to be an issue with the groups at HBCUs (They are probably the most enthusiastic I've seen). But sometimes that enthusiasm can lead to places that inexperienced staff members don't expect. (Having said that, Jamie is *not* my idea of an inexperienced staffer.
)
I don't discount Regent, but I expect that the University will place requirements and limits on the chapter beyond those which would even occur to the Student Activities office at many schools. And this will definitely be a PG/chapter where some service projects done by other chapters will be completely inappropriate. (I would expect the chapter to have stronger ties with their local BSA council than many others though)
