i like your sig about crazy heffas.





anywhoo, yeah. like i mentioned in the OP, the girls in question are not closely associated with me. i do know that only 2 of them have gone through rush. both were offered bids but neither decided to continue after "seeing what each group had to offer". as for the other girls, i know that they have not gone through rush and are basing their opinions on what they've seen on campus and from talking to actives. i don't know about numbers really; i'll have to ask how many women the 3 established sororities turn away, if any. all i know is that the women in question are not satisfied with what they have found and i don't fault them for it. there wouldn't be twenty-something different NPC orgs if everyone fit in the three that are already on our campus.

p.s. there are no local sororities here, and i'm part of the first chapter of a multicultural org in our area. in louisiana, actually. woowoo

True, but if you had XYZ, DEF, and QPS instead of ABC, TU, and HHH (I just love making up GLOs), locally, it's not going to matter. Sure we all have different colors and flowers and philathropies...but it comes down to the girls on that particular campus. The reason, nationally, there are 26 NPCs, is that they represent a diverse avalibilty of resources and "business plans". Some of the smaller NPCs only expand once every few years, and then only to smaller Greek systems, where as the bigger NPCs expand to several campuses each year, and don't have much interest in taking on the little schools with small Greek systems. It takes all kinds, nationally. Locally, it doesn't make much difference which NPCs you have.

well, i guess it doesn't hurt to say which sororities i'm referring to...there's DZ, tri-Sigma, and Phi Mu on this campus. i've always regarded those to be larger organizations. i can't see it hurting to have another one, even a smaller one.

I think what she was trying to say is that it doesn't matter if it's those three or KKG, AST and DG. The girls in the sororities would still be the same girls at that campus. If DZ, SSS & PM vanished tomorrow and 3 new sororities sprang up, most likely the girls who pledge the new groups would have been the same ones to pledge the old groups.

Like I said, it all depends on where they are as far as total is concerned. If the system isn't booming, many NPCs would be reluctant to colonize there. No group wants to come in and immediately assume the bottom position on campus.
