Possible Expansion at Otterbein

[PhoenixAzul]

Haha! I finally get to start an expansion thread about my school. As a bit of history, my org was refounded in 1985. When they went to start Tau Delta, they were told that they could not start an entirely new sorority, but they had to refound one that had become inactive. Their choices were between Tau Delta and Rho Kappa Delta (Arkady). The way our founding sisters tell it...TD won out because we didn't want our mascot to be the squirrel.

At any rate, one of my friends who did not recieve a bid through formal recruitment is attempting to refound Arkady. She's gotten together with a bunch of other girls who went independent or didn't recieve a bid or a COB. She's also pulled in some girls who haven't rushed. I'd really love to see her get this group up and running. She's allready discussed with the Greek Life office, and they're game. Now she has to petition the dean of student affairs to give them their charter. Then she has to track down the alumns (it's going to be hard, PKD has been inactive for about 25-30 years or more). But she has a copy of their bilaws and everything. This would mean that every original OC sorority would be active again for the first time since the 20's. It would also make 7 sororities to 7 fraternities.
