Just wanted to point out that colonizing isn't easy, even at a Northern school. I am an advisor at a large state university with only 6 panhellenic chapters.....ceiling is around 90. But there were fairly large numbers of girls not getting a house in recent years.....right now AEPhi is looking to colonize due to interest from members of Hillel who actively sought to bring them in. But although these are girls who probably would not be interested in going through recruitment for the current chapters, there is still concern on the part of the groups who have been around for a long time. Our newest national is Tri-Sigma, which officially joined us during the 90-91 academic year. Aside from them, the other 5 chapters have been around forever. These 6 chapters have no reason to feel threatened, and yet there is an undercurrent of concern about what effects there might be. Plus there is concern that the new chapter might fail and Panhel doesn't want to see that.
For ID purposes, I am coming back after a long absence....Amy (AmyCat) and Tracy (KillarneyRose) should be able to figure out who I am!!!!!!!
