Sometimes the local Panhellenic is unfair and votes for an NPC that is weaker nationally and may not do as well on their campus in order to limit competition, and that's not very "Panhellenic" is it?

This makes no sense. If Panhellenic doesn't want competition, they don't have to vote for expansion. And no NPC group is going to go on a campus where the majority of NPC groups do NOT want expansion. I feel pretty secure in saying that - it is WAY too much time and money to establish a chapter if you don't have at least the nominal support of other NPCs.

And wear the Earpus banner with pride. Do you like gooey buns?

I think it's rather hilarious that a guy who just joined his fraternity is questioning a someone who's served her sorority at the national leadership level. Denise, weren't you Director of Extension? I swear I remember seeing that in your signature at one point.

Yes, I was Director of Extension for 12 years and took last year off. I am back on team and was Lead on our Temple presentation on October 2nd. We were invited to colonize.

I see we have somehow hijacked red's TX Tech thread but so be it....

UW Stevens Point does not have a Panhellenic - they have 1 NPC group DPhiE which is about 20-25 members tops.

While the fraternity man Langox510x has been posting in ZTA and Theta Phi Alpha's GC forums, the National Panhellenic Conference Extension Director has been advised of this potential situation on this campus about a month ago and has notified university that the IGC is not the proper authority to decide to bring on another group. Theta Phi Alpha had inquired about school and after a call with myself and our ED and NPC, they withdrew their interest.

As for TKEguy, I will let him slide - he is just not knowledgeable about this and several of you have already set that record straight.

If fraternity men could deal with their own issues, it would be appreciated. NPC groups do things very differently.

I will, just how I know you and OTW wear the "Moronic Bitch" banner with pride.

ETA: Just joined? Lol yeah, okay, because being a member of your organization for a year+ is "just joined."

Yeah, I would've tried harder but then I remembered that you're just an e-hardass who doesn't matter in real life.

Oh, yes, I am definitely the one who looks like a moron here. (good grammar, btw)

A whole year PLUS!!! Wow!!! What were we thinking - you OBVIOUSLY know your Green Book backwards and forwards!!!


And OTW - I've never been called a bitch on GC before! I've arrived! (But apparently there is only one banner, so we will have to share it.)

eta - He couldn't even get three letters - OTW - in the correct order.

Congrats!!! Welcome to the club!

ETA: woh. When you quoted him it shows that he wrote "TOW" but in his post & when OTW quoted him, it shows that he actually did write "OTW." Weird

Occasionally when you go back and edit something, it doesn't show that it was edited. I've had this happen before, and it was clear that it happened because there was an "ETA: blah blah blah", which I wouldn't do unless it was edited and added.

Just goes to show you - there's only so much you can do with editing.

QFP is an important part of the GC experience.

QFP= quoted for posterity. Used when someone might attempt to edit a post in order to make themselves look better or (in most cases) to simply cover a flounce.
