The general attitude among the majority of Greek women on Arkansas's campus is immense excitement regarding Alpha Chi Omega and Phi Mu's colonization this fall. With the enormous (and growing) pledge classes, the Greek community (especially NPC) is united in welcoming any and all ways to help alleviate the stress of a 350+ chapter. Arkansas's freshmen summer orientation is currently under way. Each night of orientation each chapter (all four councils) is allotted a table for about 2 hours to meet and greet with PNMs. Based upon the already past sessions, the response to A Chi O and Phi Mu has been incredible. I think very few people fear their ability to be successful at the U of A despite our campus being considered a death trap for new chapters. AOII is the best example of how successful a chapter really can be at Arkansas if they have a strong foundation. The only whispers of concern I have personally heard is the impact A Chi O and Phi Mu's recruitment could have on chapters that have struggled in the past. Last fall was the first time in years all chapters at Arkansas made quota. While this was an incredibly emotional and satisfying accomplishment (shared by all NPC chapters), there is some fear the addition of the two new chapters could lead to 1 or 2 already existing chapters not receiving quota this fall as many women may opt to drop during preference round to pursue the colonization process. I am hoping and praying this is not the case and that we can experience once again a very successful formal recruitment and colonization process!
