Bakersfield that could come help there are quite a few chapters down there that could help in whatever capacity would be needed... so I definitely DON"T GET IT.. plus... Umm.. about the whole prestegious thing that differs by campus in my mind... because what one campus considers prestigious doesn't mean another school is going to think that org is prestigious ? I mean Alpha Phi is fairly well known out here in the west ... but like in the south they have hardly any chapters... so that is all in the eye of the beholder... but you're right it would be great to get our name out there are some competetive southern schools like vanderbilt and Ole Miss.... although like you said... they probably have a lot more thinking and reasoning that goes into where the colonies go than we can imagine just kinda looking in... but why don't they share with us so we can help ya know ??

Hey we out here are working on USC. Supposedly they have been open to expansion the last few years and put notice out to NPC but something happens each year and no one comes in (I think it may be SC's Panhellenic stopping it). Being so new Iota Gamma doesn't have that many alum yet but I do know there are a lot of Older Alum from SC and UCLA around here that probably would love to see USC and UCLA recolonized if we can just get in. I mean if I remember correctly, Janine Jacobs Goldberg lives out here in L.A. and I assume she'd love to see those two schools colonized.
If you read the rush threads it doesn't look like it is easy to get into schools. If a school with established panhellenic wants to expand they notify NPC who notifies the 26 member sororities. From there they do some sort of presentation, the school narrows it down, and then another presentation is done. Hopefully with the email from Sandy Grossman about Expansion Committees (and all the other ones) maybe we'll finally start expanding.
