Question about Locals at Ga Tech

NUBlue&Blue · #1 08-22-2007, 12:45 PM

One is a national Christian sorority, so it is not a member of the NPC. If you look on their website, it explains that. They are housed. Another is a national engineering sorority. I think the third is a national latina sorority.

The local is fairly new. If there is an NPC expansion, they would perhaps absorb this sorority. Expansion is under discussion, but they may need to look at the figures after this recruitment.

Why would they let them start a local rather than an NPC sorority? Because somebody asked for it and petitioned the student activities board. If you look closely at the websites, most of them tell the history of how the group came to be.

NPC expansion is a lot more complicated and expensive, so I guess if they wanted to start their own group, a local was the logical first step.

Tech is only 27% girls.

ETA: you beat me to it, 33 girl, I got sidetracked in the middle of my post!

I just want to add that there was an article in the GA Tech paper about Chi Omega Tau seeking NPC affiliation. It seemed like it was a go but I haven't seen it in a Bulletin.

I think they will probably start working on it again after this recruitment is over.

However, this fall's freshman class is 32%, according to my orientation leader friends. That may not seem like a big difference to some of you out there, but it's the difference between 2.6 guys for every girl and 2.1 guys for every girl, which is a step in the right direction.

That's also what they said at the Freshman Convocation. And I'm glad we could count on you to do the math!

It's the most practical kind of math there is at Georgia Tech.

We had a saying on the Engineering Campus...the odds are good, but the goods are odd!
