University of Southern California Expansion Update
Ok, I just talked to the old panhellenic representative (and new president) of my local at USC and I got news about the status of expansion at SC.
Here's what she told me:
Basically, before expansion can happen at University of Southern California, a social interaction policy was put in place. Basically, this says that every fraternity must do something with each house before planning more events with a certain sorority. The reason for this is that right now, certain sororities have about ten plus exchanges, while others will only have one or two because they they are not considered top houses. If a new sorority were to come on at this point, it would be very hard for them to compete with all the other houses since fraternities might not want to do things with them because they are going to initially be so small. This is also being done to strengthen the non-"top" houses, and give more of an equal footing to everyone. This policy is not saying that each pairing must have a full out mixer, only that they have to do something with each sorority, whether it be a dinner, ice cream, a mixer, etc.
After a year or two of this policy being in place, panhellenic would send out invitations to nationals to come to USC. Then nationals would express interest, people from panhellenic and greek life would review these and eventually it would be sent to a vote for panhellenic (all 9 houses would have a vote....I'm not sure about Alpha Gamma Gamma though). So no expansion for USC right now, but it will be coming in the near future since so many houses are bursting at the seams with from 100some-over 200 for the national houses!!
---I'm so hoping that the Theta Sigma chapter of Kappa Delta will come back to USC!!!!! And AEPhi!!!
