Hmm ouch, that certainly seems bleak. Our Panhel is currently in the process of getting a committee together to vote on expansion, (we know they want a new org on campus, regardless, as all the sororities met their cap last semester) and we know we have to wait until that happens before anything else. We're meeting with the IGC advisor on Monday to find out more. I am remaining optimistic about our chances because of our good relationship with the school, and the fact that we are still a small greek community. But it does look like we won't have much of a say when it comes to which org is picked, other than working with Panhel on who they'd already think is a good fit. I know the org would also have to pick us back, so it's tricky.
It looks like my sorority will have 4 new NMs by the end of this week, as DubaiSis said we are telling our PNMs of our desire/plans to go national. My girls have a goal of being an active chapter with above 10 members by the spring, so I am also hoping that will also help us.
AOII Angel, do you know where I can find that thread? I've been looking for that exact kind of topic and haven't had any luck. Thanks for well wishes, WCsweet<3 and everyone else for their help so far. I will keep everyone updated.
PS, also thank you Xidelt - I would like nothing more than for my local to thrive as we are, if I thought that was still possible I would be telling my girls to hold off on their national pursuit, but it's only become harder and harder to recruit. No one at all is interested in locals at formal recruitment any more, and my girls have zero budget to advertise with. I was completely dismayed to find PNMs talking shit about being local at all on GreenRank.com, even in reference to the national sorority that just absorbed their local. "It was a local sorority a few years ago - ew." When I rushed, it was about who you fit with, not who was local and who was national. Even when nationals starting gaining favor, being local was just perceived as different, not "gross." WTF? So sad. :/
