Actually, you have to do it by hand. Grab the bracket QUOTE=stuff close bracket stuff at the beginning and duplicate it at the beginning of each piece, and put the bracket slash QUOTE close BRACKET stuff at the end.

At this point, I think Dawn is done with letting them do that and they'll stay in 83 until the Section split and then they'll STILL be in with the same chapters they do nothing with anyway. Personally, I think they should be their OWN section.....they do things their way, do nothing with any other chapters.....it's as if they're on their own anyway!

Yup. Sectional boundaries require RD assent as well. They only get to vote when Dawn decides (or at least their vote only means something...). The plan is to split section 83? Hmm. I guess Richmond, South and East for one and everything north (and west?) of that for the other.

I haven't looked at it in depth, but it might be like that. There are some other schools, but they are more religious than some of the schools talked about in the "Most religious schools with chapters" thread that popped up a month or so ago. Most of the schools have student activities but they're all centered around the religious aspect of the schools. Virginia actually has a lot of schools.....it's just none of them (save Marymount and UMW) are near GMU.

We'll see. The healthy number of Bachelor's degrees is a start. The state has to do *something*, in another 10 years, a third of the population of Virginia is going be in DC suburbs.

Other than Christendom (which is way too small), what else religious have you seen in NoVa?

Two conferences back to back?
