What to do when campus is not open to expansion

[FuzzieAlum]

The thing the other chapters on campus have to realize ... it doesn't matter whether they want their system to expand; it already has! The fact that this local has survived for three years (I'm assuming it has a healthy number of members) means that, like it or not, there is a desire for another sorority on campus and that there are girls to join it. The Panhel can keep voting to not let them affiliate as long as they want; it won't make this chapter go away.

It does strike me as odd that members would quit, though, rather than join a non-NPC org. News flash to them: They already DID join a non-NPC org. I can understand they would object if the national, non-NPC org was had very different ideals than their own (ie, they were not mainly ag majors but are considering Sigma Alpha), but I doubt they'd be pursuing an org with ideals very different than their own. That's part of the gamble you take when joining a group that plans to affiliate ... best laid plans still don't guarantee the desired outcome.


Edited to add: GAH! Sorry that posted about a million times. GC was being very cranky today.
