Duke University expansion

[PenguinTrax]

Have to agree with you there...I also think it's in bad taste to list how the votes split out.

I have to say that I don't much care for the comments of the KAT and DDD members quoted in the article. On that campus, those chapters are very much among the "haves," and IMHO they aren't being terribly gracious toward the "have-nots."

Let's say you were a weak chapter at Duke...would you intentionally vote for the GLO with the worst expansion plan?

The comments are almost comical coming from them. They have NO experience with anything even closely resembling a colony. They are stewards of a successful organization, nothing more. What these ZTA colony members will be doing is starting a new tradition instead of being handed something old.

Those girls obviously have no clue about being Panhellenic.

Women shouldn't rush for a particular sorority - they should rush to find the sorority that fits them.

And duhhhh, colonies pick women from all classes. It's kind of terrifying to think that these women are students of a school with a reasonably high academic reputation and using such little tact or brains when speaking to the press.

I also think it was tacky to say how many votes each group got.

I was surprised as well when I read the votes. To this day, I don't think anyone knows how many votes Tri Delta, ADPi, and Alpha Phi received last spring at Elon, besides the fact that Tri Delta received the most. I thought the voting was kept confidential, but I guess it depends on the school.

I know who voted for what group and how many votes both chapters got that have colonized at NCSU.

I just think Duke is not your typical greek campus. Its very unique in image and actions in the triangle. With a newly reinstated chapter, that basically started over like a colonization, a lot of the girls have been dragged out of the wood works that usually benefits a new colony. The quotes of the two girls in the article kinda echo the sentiment a lot of colonizes face when they are formed. They also are typical of the reasons Duke students are strange about greek life

I wish them the best though and hope to hear good news of the colonization.

Hey, I'm just wondering how you think they're different? I'm not trying to start anything at all either, but my mom was a Tri-Delta at Duke and I don't see how it was strange.

I think she ment that Duke students think about being Greek differently from lots of other schools, not that they're strange or that the Greek system is strange.

For example, as someone pointed out earlier in this thread nobody (particularly Panhellenic women) really wears letters around, partly because people just don't and partly because people don't want to be defined by what GLO they're in at first glance.

Ahhh I gotcha. Actually a lot of schools in NC are like that. Here at ECU we love wearing letter shirts, but I can think of 3 other schools with major greek systems that don't.
