Hopefully they will spread out more in time, so everyone can enjoy what rich benefits fraternity and sorority life has to offer.

Yeah that's so true...sometimes i feel like i'm a radical when i tell my sisters to say international, but that's ok...
as for spreading to other coutries; that would be interesting...I was just on MSN with a French friend - i told her i was going to a sorority conference, sorority? what's that?...ummm there's no word in french for it, it's like a woman's org at university...
Similar situation couple years ago talking with my brother and his japanese girlfriend...tried explaining it to her...they typed it into their English-japanese translator thingy and the result was "women's club"....just not the same meaning...
So, there's definitely a culture gap that would have to be jumped before expansion
