San Diego State – Groups have been invited for presentations but I forgot when they start.
Northwestern Univ. - Panhellenic is supposed to announce presentation invites soon.

Others still in RFP:
Central Methodist Univ.
Union College (KY)
University of the Incarnate Word
Knox College

What's RFP?

Yes, thank you irishpipes.

Tom--I think you should just accept that NPC Extension is the way that it is for our own reasons, and stop offering "help" EVERYTIME the topic comes up.

Kind of like how I have to accept that I will NEVER understand one of your posts without serious translation help.

I didn't know that Union College of Kentucky had any national GLOs. (i.e. IFC/NIC, NPC, NPHC). Is this something completely new (campus opening to Greek Life) or do they have local(s) that are going to affiliate with an inter/national(s)?

By the way, what does RFP mean?

It's a brand new system just like UT-Tyler and Greek Life is being introduced for the first time.

RFP means Request for Proposal.

Thank you for the explanation and update. I'm pleased to hear that Greek Life is coming to Union.

By the way, does an RFP refer/apply to both universities requesting to start a system (starting from scratch) as well as requests from an existing NPC system that is looking to expand?

Yes, it does. When a campus decides to add an NPC group for any reason, the “proper authority”, meaning the university administration and/or Collegiate Panhellenic Association, contacts the NPC Extension Chairwoman. This is a written statement and if there is a Collegiate Panhellenic Association, the minutes for the meeting showing where extension approval was given.

At that point, NPC will send a bulletin to all 26 groups saying that College University is officially open. There will be details about the school, their reason for expansion and a timeline. This timeline usually includes dates for permissible exploratory visits, RFP deadlines, and estimated dates for presentations and so on.

Groups interested in the extension opportunity will submit their RFPs (packets) by the deadline. The decision of whom to send presentation invitations is based largely on those RFPs.

If your are refering to Central Methodist in Mo. and UIW, NIC has colonized in both.

LXA in UIW and is Chartered. Not sure who did at CMU.

Knox and Union I am not sure about but both sound familiar for NIC.

Let us know if you find something out.

Central Methodist University in Missouri has had local fraternities and sororities for many years. In the past couple of years, two of the fraternities have joined national GLOs. Sigma Alpha Chi became a chapter of Phi Delta Theta and Delta Sigma Psi became Tau Kappa Epsilon. Perhaps all of their organizations are looking into going national?

Local fraternities: Delta Beta Tau and Chi Delta

Local sororities: Delta Pi Omega, Sigma Pi Alpha, Zeta Psi Lambda, and Alpha Gamma Psi.

Lanesig, Thanks for the aide and update!

AnchorAlum yes they do and that is exactly what My question is concerning.

But no one wants to seem to answer but do for the best for the few.

Those that are there as Sororitys, not for the women who are looking.

Can you explain that part of it for a meaningful justification?

You may ask carnation about Her School that changed and hopefully is getting better.

I just and still wonder if the few are protected then, what happens to the many who are not willing to join and why?

That is and has been always been my major question.

Can anyone really explain it?

WHAT IS HE SAYING!?!??!

I KNOW HE'S TRYING TO COMMUNICATE.

BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!

/aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAGH

There are sororities on the smaller campuses, and surely there would be demand for more sororities if only more sororities would colonize there. The only reason every university woman does not join a sorority MUST be that they don't like the organizations available on their campus. (Sounds like someone's niece! There's thousands, maybe millions of those women out there if only Kappa and Chi O and DG et al would just meet their obvious demand!!) Surely, there can't possibly be campuses that can only support two or three sororities through the natural demand.
