New NPC Chapter at UWF?

[GoArgos]

As a current sorority member at UWF, I can tell you that the campus is not opening for expansion anytime soon.

Yes, all 4 sororities made quota (3 made quota plus) during Fall recruitment, but not all sororities are currently at the campus total of 60.

Thank you. Can we stop the madness now that we've heard from someone who actually knows what they are talking about?

Boys generally know nothing about how NPC works, and as such, should refrain from giving NPC advice. Also, the three new orgs that were mentioned: AXO, Sig Chi, and PBS - they are all different councils (NPC, NIC, NPHC), which is why it was possible to add 3 new orgs, since they're not recruiting from the same "pool" of people. If they were all three NPCs it probably wouldn't have worked.

Please note: Our official nickname is Sig, not Sig Chi. (LaneSig shudders at the thought of "Sig Chi" and goes back to figuring out which of 5 students decided not to put their names on their essays and matching them up.)

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their input - especially the current UWF student, your information was very helpful. I believe there was a misunderstanding, I did not think UWF should have a large greek system like that of FSU and UF. With it being a younger school with a much younger greek life, that would be an impossibility at this time. I believe in leaving a place better than it was when you first came there, my first instinct was that Panhellenic expansion would be a way to do just that. However, after getting to know the university and even some of the sorority members better I learned that expansion was not what was needed. The girls have told me that recruitment numbers as a whole were down this year. Clearly UWF's Panhellenic must strengthen what's within before expansion should even be considered. UWF is a great school that will continue to grow, and eventually the greek life will have a need to grow with it. There just happens to be no need for it at this time. Thanks again for all your suggestions and input, it was greatly appreciated!

At my undergrad, they went by Sig Chi. They also bought our old house that we stole the window out of.
