As an alum of USC (with one daughter currently attending in a house), another who graduated I'll add my two cents: SDT is new. They have a different target audience, (not the Jewish aspect btw as they are diverse) but a strong sisterhood There is a Christian sorority which is again, different. I believe that the only house of the big ten that doesn't make quota is the aforementioned AChiO. And that is an absolute shame. There are so many pnms who refuse to accept their bid there because it isn't...............(fill in the blank). So now you want to add another house to the mix?
I'm so sorry that you didn't choose to accept your bid. You could have made a difference. They wanted you. I understand that in a new sorority you would have the control, but that's not happening. Cost, numbers are just the beginning of your challenges.
Neither I nor my daughter is affiliated with AChiO. My daughter's house had some interactions with this house. The Reluctant One is, I guess in current speak, cool/hot whatever. She has good instincts. SDT and AChiO have really nice girls. If you crave sisterhood, give them a chance. Take a chance and go through recruitment next year. But unless you have unbelievable connections and support, several million dollars to purchase/renovate a house support the houses that are there.
