Wow! I am shocked to read this thread and to hear what Barbara has to say. I am a bit surprised to hear about the expansion as 2 sororities closed while I was on campus and I know of at least one active chapter struggling for numbers, possibly two. Have recruitment numbers really soared since I graduated in 2001? What is being done with the struggling chapter(s)?
In regards to the housing issue of the 2 closed sorority chapters....both are being rented by fraternities at this time. I would assume those fraternities do plan to move to the new Greek Park being built just off campus (sorry Russell, can't remember the name of the road...but it's just between Pensacola and Tennessee near the old BW-3s) and that a sorority, if recolonized would be able to move into one of those houses. (At this time I do not believe any sororities are moving to the Greek Park).
And on a side note...while FSU does have a lot of girls from South Florida and the Northeast I have to wonder how well a chapter with a certain religious prominence would fare. Right now all of the chapters are very diverse...my chapter had/has a large number of Jewish sisters and I know several other chapters do as well.
At any rate it should be interesting to see what, if anything, happens.
