There's a story in the Sept. 14, 2004 Duke "Chronicle" online about this expansion.

I hope that Duke's Panhellenic and all the NPC organizations concerned can work together calmly and appropriately to resolve any issues that the article might possibly cause. Unfortunately there's at least one factual error: Sigma Kappa was at Duke previously, and would not (if chosen) "be a completely new addition."
It may also be unfortunate that the story describes two of the three sororities presenting as "very strong at colleges across the country." I think all three are strong; furthermore, a sorority's or fraternity's national "strength" is, to put it mildly, hard to measure objectively.
Finally -- and this may just be me -- gimme a break here, how hard can it be to have to go to 10 instead of 9 chapters at the beginning of recruitment? If someone can survive the Duke admission process and make it through the first semester, she should be able to manage 10 parties. Shouldn't she?
