That's great news that Santa Clara is finally expanding! Alpha Phi is one of the 2 National Sororities there, and I know they are forced to turn away a lot of women each year.

Hey, I just found this thread. Yeah, Theta got picked, and we're now up to about 115 girls---in a year. Isn't that amazing? It just goes to show that SCU really needed a third sorority. We used to have a third one, Delta Zeta, but because of the University's decision to "phase out" Greek life, they kind of died out. It's sad. This is always a huge point of contention amongst administrators and students, but it's actually helped Greek life grow. The only problem is we can't advertise on campus, besides on our bodies of course, and we can't put "santa clara university" on any of our Greek shirts, although some people do anyway and I don't think the university does anything about it, but I wouldn't know, we never have. There were rumblings about the administrators reembracing the Greek system after we've showed we can grow, not wilt, but that hasn't happened as of yet. Anyways, that's the SCU greek system update---we're gearing up for a great recruitment in the winter!
