If we're talking numbers, yeah, there's probably no question...but you're right, I can't believe she actually said that.

What cannot anyone beleive? She is proud of Her Organization and lets it be known. If it is a lie, then do not wory about it.

But congratulations on the three Sororitys in being chosen to present.

It is a shame to hear about ADPi having been closed.

Because it's not very panhellenic.

Wow...very bold statement.

Anyone else think it might be a little early to expand since ADPi just closed last year due to low numbers? Maybe I am missing something.....

Why would it be so bizarre? UCF is not a microcosm of Greek Life across the country and in Canada.

Earp doesn't know the meaning of panhellenic, thus revealing the problem.

And it isn't very panhellenic, regardless of truth.

I disagree. He unites GC sorority women through his presentation of the issues he considers important.

And yes, ZTA has larger stage presence from a numbers POV, but I can see where the quote could be taken out of context or taken the wrong way.

As for an ADPi chapter closing, I will say honestly I know nothing of the circumstances behind its closing but I will say from experience that our IO team and volunteers make extensive efforts to preserve a chapter and give collegiate members the tools they need to be successful. It could be the university was ready for expansion, but the closed chapter could not stay competitive with the other existing chapters. At some point a dying chapter has reached a point of no return and all the PNMs in the world are not going to fill its halls. And I'd rather see a chapter close than see collegiate members struggle on a daily basis for years. The collegians gain nothing but frustration when there is a losing battle before them. When no amount of help or aid can repair a chapter, it's time to close the doors and let it go so the current collegians can have some chance at a reasonably normal college experience without the stress and obligations of a dying chapter consuming their every thought and movement.

Thank you both for your insightful posts!

So, it is not Pan Hell.

But I wonder how many on site are that so kind to others?

God a mental pea could read posts and figure it out.

Read some of your own comments!

I think what JessXica is saying is that you start to think of the sororities on your campus as the representation of the sorority. It's easy, especially for a new member, to get used to seeing XYZ as the small house and QRS as the strongest. Not bizarre like they can't possibly be different, but bizarre like this is all I've ever known. I agree with this although years on GC and being an alum has made a difference.

[adpiucf]

Tom, I have a hard enough time reading yours.

[tunatartare]

Drolefille, a translation of Tom Earp's post please.

[Tom Earp]

What need, other than a smart comment?

Is that plain enough?

While I am familiar with the Sororitys on My Campus, I do stay in contact with others than just Fraternitys.

I wish nothing but the best for any GLO on any campus. Is that plain enough?

Granted, not all chapters are the same in grade as others, are they even the less?

If you are not proud enough to say posotive things about your GLO, then who would think of you being so kind to others?

Tom you don't have a campus. You have an almer mater. Are you still concerned with the tiers and ranking of greek life?

First of all...i really don't understand what you are really trying to imply here...but let's just assume that you mean what I think you mean. Then this is the STUPIDEST thing i've ever heard.

Ok, so your proud of your sorority, big woop, everyone is proud of their sorority. That does not mean that you can be unkind to others, or imply (like this president did) that others are inferior to your sorority.
