I'm curious, though. I've never heard of a school having an "expansion committee" so this is a new concept for me. Does this committee have to approve a new organization's arrival, or does it just get information for the councils to review? I'd think that (assuming your school is public) IFC would handle expansion issues for Triangle.

Many campus IFCs are starting to do expansion committees to control the number and timing of IFC colonies. In the old days, a group of guys would get together and decide they wanted to be a fraternity. They would then go to Dean of Students and the campus IFC, get recognized, and then look for a fraternity to pick them up/absorb them. Now, in many cases, IFCs are inviting specific fraternities to colonize on campus at specific times. This semester, Phi Gamma Delta is colonizing at Western Kentucky by invite of the campus.

Back to your regularly scheduled flight.

I'm assuming the expansion committees are comprised of only IFC members? If so, I have seen this practiced before. I was initially thinking there was some sort of "all Greek committee" trying to regulate when/if an NIC organization could come on campus.

Thanks.
