Colonization at the University of Alabama?!?

[bamagirl09]

Is it unusual/unheard of for extension committees to make recommendations based on the info given to them?

No.

For someone who works at the University, I'd say t hat was pretty unprofessional to post that since it is not public knowledge.... almost as unprofessional as say, that PiPhi girl who came on here and posted "it's not final yet, but here's how my chapter voted!"

I get your point, but . . .

Is "professional" the right word to use if we don't really know it was an employee who posted it? Maybe we should go with immature, un-panhellenic, or in the cases of people revealing what was discussed in confidence at chapter, a violation of ritual.

We can be ridiculous is so many ways on GC that have nothing to do with what we do professionally.

Let's leave the unprofessional behavior to the professionals, like the folks at DePauw last year.

well considering that Bama Alumna mentioned she worked for the university, yea, I think I'd use the word 'unprofessional'. in addition to the other lovely words you pointed out.

As t*p mentioned, she said she was employed by UA in the link I posted. Granted, that post was from some time go, but still..

And I think you meant DePauw.

Frankly, I am very disappointed in the process.

Do you understand how the extension process works? From your posts, I gather that you do not. I will edit my above post & remove the memo, but I don't understand your assertion that things were handled unfairly or unprofessionally. In what way did the University of Alabama or their NPC not follow the NPC guidelines for extension?

By the way, I no longer work for the University. I quit working there last year & have moved on to better things. Thanks.

then what's the big deal?

The committee has made it's recommendations, but the final vote hasn't been made. That email was not meant for the public because technically nothing should be posted publicly about ANY expansion (other than maybe who is presenting) until the Panhellenic has voted. Because until the final vote passes, it's not official. For example (not saying that this would happen), what if that email were posted and then there was some sort of issue with what was proposed and the vote didn't pass? Then there are going to be some angry DG and A Phi alumnae out there who are upset over something they weren't even supposed to hear about.

Okay...so the info shouldn't have been made public, but the committee didn't do anything wrong...

I know nothing about the committee, I'm sure they made the best choices for Bama. I'm just saying that people should not put things out there before they're official in case changes occur. That's all

No one's blaming the committee for doing anything wrong.

What was wrong was posting an email (intended for a select few individuals) on a public message board BEFORE the official announcement was made.

Like BamaGal1203 said, it was very unprofessional.

I wonder how big a group of people received that correspondence. If it went out to all the chapters, I suspect the cat was already out of the bag.

If it wasn't a big pool of folks, someone's about to get busted.

Bama Alumna did mention here that she serves on a sorority Chapter Advisory Board and is employed by UA. Tsk tsk.
