MooseGirl, Thanks from one Jen to another!

UBCs greek system is indeed thriving, with 7 sororities and 8 fraternities on campus!! Ground has been broken for a new fraternity village on campus which will see current chapters relocate into brand new houses constructed for the chapters in the new few years - hopefully also to be followed up with the planned sorority complex (about 6-10 beds & a chapter room & living area for each sorority) once enough money is raised (very tough to do around here!) Most if not all of the sororities have phenomenal alumni support, but here in Canada, I have found that alumni support means generally being there, and not the financial contributions that are so much more common stateside! and this is one of the major reason that it is taking so long for each sorority to raise the necessary funds. One day soon I hope ...

Thanks again for your post!! I wish you and your chapter (& indeed the entire Greek system) a very strong recruitment ... btw, where do you go to school? I'm thinking Manitoba?

In any case, good luck & be sure to keep us posted with all the details ... we love this stuff!
