Congrats to the ISU Thetas! Bluefish, do you have information on the other chapters or know where we might find any?

Nebraska starts tomorrow! I do know that the temp is 95 degrees with unbearable humidity. Good luck to all the Huskers!

I know that quota at KU was 46, but I haven't heard any individual results yet!

DD said Theta took 33, she thought. The list probably won't go out until ADPi does their rush this week. (They don't have a house and do it the week after the rest of the sororities)

I know too that another local girl went GPhi and another friend's dd got a bid to a different house after another house said "See You Tomorrow" ....and then she didn't so she is very sad.

The mom, who wasn't Greek, wasn't very happy about her dd not being very happy.

How does that work in terms of fairness? I mean, wouldn't that put ADPi at a disadvantage to the other groups and perpetuate the feeling that they were getting the girls who were turned down from other groups?

I don't know the history behind that - perhaps someone else does? They used to be on campus a long time ago and then came back on (don't know when and where about that)

I have no idea why it isn't at the same time. Often wondered myself!

I think they do rush like a lot of the locals do. They aren't in the same situation as the other sororities...they don't have a house. The Nebraska houses are big and almost everybody but freshmen live in.

When I was in college Phi Mu and ADPi both lived away from greek row in university housing. There were 4 houses down by a three dorm complex called Harper Schramm Smith, that although is the most popular complex now, was the least popular back then because it was "so far away". Chi Phi and Triangle lived in the other two houses, and university food service provided their food and all four greek chapters ate at the dorms on the weekends. While this might sound very normal to a lot of people, this is out of the norm at Nebraska.

At some point, I think in the 1990's, maybe even the late 1980's, the university took those houses back. Again, I'll reiterate that I haven't really kept up with all the details, so I can only say it all happened in the last 20 years or so. At some point Phi Mu regrouped enough to buy/lease? the Beta Sig house next door to the Kappa House, but they are still a very small chapter compared to the others. Phi Mu and ADPi were always the only chapters that ever had to COR, and probably still are. ADPi appears to have decided to keep the chapter open but operate it more like a local sorority.

I know I've said this before, but you have to understand that Nebraska's greek system is old. Almost all single letter chapters, and they came on campus in the 1880's-turn of the century. ADPi and Phi Mu are johnny-come-latelies in the 1920's and have never really been able to build themselves into the same size chapters as the others. Living in the South, I know this seems upside down to a lot of people, but that's the way it is in Nebraska.
