Yeah for us. Good luck to all three. But I'll be hoping AXiD gets it.

OJ, any idea why they would choose a chapter that has never been there over one that still owns a house?

Actually I think you're referring to what irishpipes said in another thread - that if they chose AST, they could have "bragging rights" as the only Panhellenic that has had all 26 sororities at some point in time.

I don't know that I would "brag" about having lost a bunch of chapters. I just think it is extreme stupidity that they would not invite the group that OWNS A HOUSE ON CAMPUS, unless there is some large, mitigating factor of which I am unaware.

In the cases that I have seen, it is those other factors.

Just because XYZ has a house on campus doesn't mean that QRS's presentation didn't appeal more to the students and chapters already there. If the other presenting chapters feel confident that they can acquire a house, I'm not sure that it makes a whole lot of difference, particularly to the girls voting on the issue.

Right, but we are not yet at the presentation stage. If they presented and were not chosen, I could understand that. But why not give them the chance to present? I find it hard to believe that there is SO much differentiation among the written proposals that you could easily make the decision when narrowing it to three. Is there any org whose statement of interest is just so amazing that it would set them apart enough to ensure they get chosen?
I don't have much experience with expansions, so if someone could shed some light on how they do the initial narrowing from 7 to 3, I would appreciate it. I would just have assumed that an existing house would tip it in an org's favor.
(and in case anyone is wondering, my org is already on the campus, so this is not personal)
