I am very happy to hear about the Greek systems success over there. I apologize for being misinformed.

SDT is not a new chapter...they just haven't been able to participate in formal due to low numbers and no house. They do have somewhat of a house now...it's actually in part of a church (I think) where they can hold meetings etc. They can not live there. They did participate in Open House rounds last year and had a sucessful spring recruitment. I really hope they can make a strong come back and be able to participate in formal recruitment this year.
No worries Gamma Phi Baby..it's just that those of us that have any knowledge or association with greek life at UT really have a hard time with the Big 6 mentality. It came from an article written in the early 70's and unfortunatley stuck. The other 8 sororities have had to work really hard to change the mentality, which usually stems from momas and grandmas telling thier daughters who then tell thier friends.
