I didn't know that Union College of Kentucky had any national GLOs. (i.e. IFC/NIC, NPC, NPHC). Is this something completely new (campus opening to Greek Life) or do they have local(s) that are going to affiliate with an inter/national(s)?

By the way, what does RFP mean?

If your are refering to Central Methodist in Mo. and UIW, NIC has colonized in both.

LXA in UIW and is Chartered. Not sure who did at CMU.

Knox and Union I am not sure about but both sound familiar for NIC.

Let us know if you find something out.

Central Methodist University in Missouri has had local fraternities and sororities for many years. In the past couple of years, two of the fraternities have joined national GLOs. Sigma Alpha Chi became a chapter of Phi Delta Theta and Delta Sigma Psi became Tau Kappa Epsilon. Perhaps all of their organizations are looking into going national?

Local fraternities: Delta Beta Tau and Chi Delta

Local sororities: Delta Pi Omega, Sigma Pi Alpha, Zeta Psi Lambda, and Alpha Gamma Psi.

Okay, so 4 colonizations this year!

Wow, Waterloo!!! Yay, Canada! There's only one other NPC group there, right (KKG)?
I live there (well Kitchener) and know quite a few young ladies that go to UWaterloo...now to convince them of the benefits of joining a sorority!

Phi Sig has 4 colonies this fall:
University of Colorado – Colorado Springs
Metropolitan State College of Denver
Grand Valley State University
University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee (started last year)

There may be Sororitys that some heart for or hear of and they are not there and are limited to who they may choose from brings me to the conclusion that maybe there is a lacking some where?

If the choices are not there for them, then why join if they do not like the women in those GLOs?

Most State Schools are not emuried with Greeks as some of the Big Southern or Major Uns., but what does one do to find friendship if not a member of a small and select few?

Dont each GLO attempt to recruit those who are like themselves?

What if other women do not like or feel like they want to be a part of them for what ever reason?

Tom, I suggest you re-read before you post. "There may be Sororitys that some heart for or hear of" - ????? "emuried" - ????
Face it...men and women do things differently. The reason we have the highly structured rush is because we would slice each other to ribbons if we didn't. That's why the NPC was formed.
Different means different. Not better.

I asked a simple question and get a two step instead. I explained my position very plainly and do not feel it is necessary for a "We" keep on and even footing when it is not true in many cases.

If Women are not happy with either the Chapters and or the woment in them, then, where do they go?

Oh, GDI=not affilated in any form.

So I guess my next question is who does this help, You or them?

In any parlie, GLO just means Greek Letter Organization, not different between Mal or Female.

Correct?

Plain english, I get; YOU are unintelligible.

Not everyone is cut out for Greek Life. I'm not going to cry if every woman doesn't get a bid someplace, because it is simply not ever going to happen. Many think that if they brought a new sorority to campus, they'd get a bid. This is not necessarily the case. (This happened on my campus, the interest group failed)

Bringing all 26 sororities to every campus would not guarantee a home for everyone.

We would, as AnchorAlumna put it, cut each other to ribbons. The formality of it it all keeps us at least civil if not friendly.

Lanesig, Thanks for the aide and update!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AnchorAlum yes they do and that is exactly what My question is concerning.

But no one wants to seem to answer but do for the best for the few.

Those that are there as Sororitys, not for the women who are looking.

Can you explain that part of it for a meaningful justification?

You may ask carnation about Her School that changed and hopefully is getting better.

I just and still wonder if the few are protected then, what happens to the many who are not willing to join and why?

That is and has been always been my major question.

Can anyone really explain it?

WHAT IS HE SAYING!?!??!

I KNOW HE'S TRYING TO COMMUNICATE.

BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!

/aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAGH

greekalum · #55 09-13-2006, 06:41 PM

There are sororities on the smaller campuses, and surely there would be demand for more sororities if only more sororities would colonize there. The only reason every university woman does not join a sorority MUST be that they don't like the organizations available on their campus. (Sounds like someone's niece! There's thousands, maybe millions of those women out there if only Kappa and Chi O and DG et al would just meet their obvious demand!!) Surely, there can't possibly be campuses that can only support two or three sororities through the natural demand.

Spell Check Paleeze.

Read the post first and then tell me about spell check.

drofile wants to stir the cauldron, I guess?

It is meaningfull and was meant as a wanting explanation, not crap!

So far, no one has answered the question, just given a two step and no answers as usual.

greekalum · #59 09-13-2006, 06:56 PM

WHO ARE THESE MANY WOMEN who are dying to join a sorority but just not the ones on their campus? They don't exist, Tom. That's a big part of the reason why sororities don't expand according to your wishes. That and the fact that you aren't a sorority member so your wishes aren't very relevant.

Awwww Tom, I wasn't talking about you -- (You're in a category all your own!)

As far as an explanation re: NPC's Expansion philosophy...I know I have responded to your queries about this topic in several other forums (as have others!).
