Hottytoddypnm14, being the new sorority is not equivalent to not being "good". Far from it.

It seems that you are buying into the #1 tent talk. The more that you succumb to that and other gossip, the bumpier your own recruitment may be. Now, back to the new group. Every colonizing NPC group now goes to extraordinary lengths to choose selectively for a colony and ensure a wonderful program, competitive size and quality. These new women are really cute. Their international is extremely strong, particularly in the South. Check out its chapters at UGA, Clemson, UNC, USC, NCSU. Dynamite group, and its colonies have a reputation of growing and succeeding quickly. A lot of women like colonies because of the opportunity to develop the traditions (while enjoying the security of national support and financing).

I love the look of this new group -- fun and cute --- and anticipate that they will be a strong addition to campus. Another group colonizes next year, and there are plans to add three more new groups thereafter.

In short, if you let the tent talk influence you -- and your posts suggest that it indeed matters to you -- you may find yourself making suboptimal decisions. I am not an alumna of the new sorority -- it in fact was our big rival --- but it was a rival because it was so darn good.
