We told you it's a slow process! We weren't kidding. Be patient, there will probably be an answer by the end of the semester. But maybe not. Take a look at Alabama, which has been open for expansion for, what, more than a year? I'm thinking even longer than that. Just because it appears clear that there is room for another sorority on campus, there's so much more to it than that, including alumna support which some sororities may not think they have in sufficient numbers to support a Big 10 collegiate chapter. There's also the challenge of scheduling the meetings to decide among the submissions and then scheduling the presentations from the selected submissions. To make it fair, you want to have all (probably 3) sororities visit within a short time frame, but maybe the expansion committees are busy, either with their lives (these are generally unpaid non-employees who are alumna volunteers) or with other presentations or actual colonies. And these meetings also have to compete with mid-terms, campus events, etc. And then after the presentations happen, more meetings have to happen for discussion and voting. It's amazing it ever happens!
