salacity18 has no problem with panhellenic, trust me...she was on the executive board several years ago...
the thing is, npc unanimous agreements are meant to be followed exactly. npc recommendations are more flexible. if we didn't follow the unanimous agreements, i could, say, decide to disaffiliate from my chapter and walk over to CMU and sign a bid card with another sorority.
in accordance with this, 50% of the pitt sororities must be at chapter total for one calendar year, meaning that if they are at 70 sisters after fall recruitment, and graduate 11 in April, then they have 59 sisters going into the summer months, and are no longer considered at chapter total.
furthermore, if we were to add another chapter, where would we put them? none of the NPHC or associate panhellenic chapters have housing as of yet. then there's that whole clause about on campus/off campus greek housing, so unless pitt's going to build some kind of multi-million dollar greek complex by tearing up all of South Oakland, it's probably not going to happen any time soon, unfortunately.
also, i think that all of the sorority chapters on campus are actively trying to improve their membership right now, and worrying about fostering a new chapter on campus would stretch everyone too thin. perhaps in a few years if the community is properly and effectively restructured...
too many rules!
