Actually, this last Thursday was just the Panhellenic Exec Council's reccommendation to the delegates (exec members don't have a vote), and the delegates will be voting next Thursday.
As far as Alpha Phi- that technically wasn't adding a new chapter, as I understand it. As far as I know, they never left campus. AEPhi was similar in that when they left I believe there were about 3 members remaining (ie clearly not viable anymore). From what I've heard, it often seems like a better plan to shut down when you get too small and hope for the opportunity to start again from the ground up at a later date. That said, I know that Alpha Phi is not entirely happy with the decision to expand.
To answer XO Michelle, the new chapter will definitely be looking for upperclassmen to join, so please encourage your sister to check it out! If she wants, she can send her info to Dean Adams in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, and he can give whichever chapter comes on campus her info.
