But wouldn't it be great?!  |

It seems that the sororities at Ole Miss are bursting at the seams, and one can only wonder when their Panhellenic will vote to allow one more group on campus.

The same things were said about Bama just a few years ago. There had been talk for ages about needing to expand due to chapter size and ever growing PNM Recruitment class sizes. Lot's of speculation that it would be too intimidating and expensive to return/come on this campus due to the strong traditions, housing required, etc.
Yet when the time came to expand almost every missing group expressed strong interest in being considered. It was decided to look first to those groups who had chartered here in the past. While I'm sure they thought long and hard about it, especially given the cost of building comparable housing, they all ended up jumping at the chance.
Point being, with a strong Greek campus like Bama or in this case Ole Mis the opportunity to expand/return only comes about once in a blue moon. If a group has that chance they really need to take it because who knows when it will happen again?
