ok, this post has me completely confused. i thought ucf had already picked aephi so why would they go through the whole process again? i could be mixed up but denise's story sounds really similar to the story at another florida school, maybe fsu?
and on a side note, people have been saying that ucf's numbers were down this year but couldn't that be largely attributable to this year's horrible hurrican season? wasn't their an upward trend in numbers for several years prior to this year.

Ladies,
UCF is expanding and will be bringing on 2 NPC groups over the next 18 months or so. NPC announced expansion opportunity earlier this year and there will be 2 rounds. First, there is an interest group of women who are looking to afiliate with a historically Jewish national. For those who are too young to know, in the 1920, 1930 and 1940s, Jewish women were not permitted to join most of your groups so, although groups like DPhiE were founded as non-sectarian, during this time period Jewish women predominantly joined our ranks. Today, all three groups are as diverse as many of the other groups.
This interest group will be the first to go national. DPhiE and probably SDT and AEPhi have submitted packets but no invitations to present have come yet but are expected by semester end. I think that group selected gets 12 months to get up to total and then a second national will come on based on a few being selected to present from I'm sure a large stack of nationals to chose from. Who wouldn't want a chapter at UCF? There is no interest group for the second expansion.
I'm sure there will be more to report by semesters end. Any insiders, please feel free to add information as it becomes available.
In panhellenic friendship,
Denise
DPhiE Director of Expansion
