Well, that's another option, I guess, but the thing is that W&L isn't really looking to just get new fraternities right and left. The feeling is that the school wants to reduce the number of groups because we have so few options for non-Greek living, and because we can barely support 15 groups anymore. However, SigEp wasn't really a group that had been 'marked for elimination' in anyone's minds. It'll be really interesting to see if a new group colonizes, with or without the current SigEp brothers in it. They have a decent amount of clout on campus (the dean of the college is an alum) and I don't know how it will be handled. Our school, which is rabidly Greek, is trying to find ways to be nicer to non-Greeks. It's really, really tough if you're a non-Greek here. Everyone here is paranoid about the administration looking to cut groups or regulate GLOs and discourage people from rushing, but they're really just trying to prevent the independents from feeling so stigmatized...
