I think Theta will be fine. In my honest opinion, I really think more and more PNMs are open minded. With out-of-state enrollment increasing, more PNMs come to campus not knowing who the "top tier" sororities are. Yes, there are websites out there we don't talk about on here that love to bash all of the sororities at Ole Miss. However, I think we need to give more credit to the PNMs at Ole Miss. They have come a long way from when I went through in 1996. I also think credit is deserved to the current members in each sorority. I think all 9 groups have realized you cannot just have a chapter of "Mississippi girls." It just won't work in 2010 and does not reflect the current diversity of our current student body. I think with RFM and strong retention all of our chapters on campus will continue to grow.
I do think we need 1 more sorority, heck maybe even 2. But as we have talked about many times before there is more to it on a competitive campus like Ole Miss.
I will add that RFM and better retention has helped my own chapter. They are thriving and it really took about 4 years to get where they are today. Over the last 10 years since ZTA left all of the chapters have had to adjust to huge new member classes. Some adjusted faster than others. Some are just now finding their stride and figuring out how to manage 200+ members. Ole Miss Sororities are complicated but at the same time full of sisterhoods, philanthropies, socials, and traditions just like any other chapter on any other campus.
