New Sorority on Campus?

Come and go do they not?

So, it happens!

Until you can tell me where you came up with the idea that SLU has big old houses, you don't get to talk anymore.

No means no.

Bad Tom.

Tom - trust me that most of that is the fraternities. U of I has in the neighborhood of 60 some IFC fraternities. Some have over 100 members and others have merely a dozen. Obviously with that broad range they may change housing situations occasionally. The sororities are remarkably stable at U of I. Of the 19 NPC groups currently on campus, only one has ever even recolonized. The rest are very old, long-standing chapters with a continued presence on campus. Of the 25 NPCs ever represented on campus, all but 6 are still open. Groups may have changed where they live on campus, but the chapters don't "come and go." And actually, none of the NPC groups have even changed houses as far as I know - at least not any time recently. That is more of an IFC phenomenon at U of I.

To clarify, my reference to shuffling referred only to the movement of chapters into and out of specific houses on campus. Not the colonization/closure of chapters.

/can't wait for Earp to mention that you can't live in the house if you're SUSPENDED! OH NOES

Hey guys!
Just wanted to let you all know that the resolution passed.

I don't know how I missed this thread earlier. When I was there, the chapters having trouble received almost no support from the larger chapters. Unfortunately, chapters forget all too easily how quickly things can change. Top chapters become bottom and vice versa within five years at UIUC. A new chapter could do very well, and it is probably the right thing for the system, but it depends a lot on everyone playing fairly.

My only problem is the likely moratorium on COB. I am against this because it hurts the chapters that need to COB without helping the one that asks for it. I am sure this is what will happen the semester that the new chapter comes on, and it will hurt other chapters that need to keep their houses full (usually 4-5 chapters COB after formal recruitment, and it is not necessarily the same ones every year).
