My alma mater (Knox College) has only 2 sororities: Tri Delta and PiPhi...as opposed to 4 fraternities (used to be 5, Phi Delt was just kicked off). There has been a lot of talk about bringing in a 3rd Nat'l sorority to campus.
Here's my question:
Phi Mu HAD a chapter at Knox up until around 1989/1990. Being on panhellenic council, I asked if we could consider Phi Mu since they have a history with the campus and (more importantly) alumni. My advisor said they would not be considered because they were not strong Nationally. Is this true?
If this is not true and your nationals could fully support bringing Phi Mu back to the Knox campus, please PM me so that I might give you the contact info for our greek advisor. I'd love to see Knox bring back a sorority that already has a history there, and since Phi Mu was the last to leave, I feel this warrants some investigation. Phi Mu should be considered.

I just want to say this was a very rude thing for your Greek advisor to say, and particularly to say to a student. Almost all sororities are stronger in some areas of the country than others - it doesn't make them "not strong nationally" just because of that. Then again sometimes Greek advisors have their own prejudices that they should really keep to themselves.
Sorry to barge and Maggie, I'm not angry at you - I know you're just the messenger - I just hate to see people whose job it should be to support and promote ALL Greeks indulging in negative behavior.
