Edited to just add this part.

No, not quit.

ADPi was there and were the so called fat girls, sound familiar?

The LXA Chapter helped a local start and they were offered affiliation with Phi Mu, and they refused, ergo, they then closed.

KD came on campus and seemed to have a great shot as had @ 40-50 members. Do not know why they closed and have not been able to find out why?


So, with ASA in a old but nice house on main drag (across from the LXA hous), SSS in an old house and hard to find, and AGD who is on the main drag but way south and wanting to build a new house, there is a need for at least one new Sorority that has backing and a good name for chapters in the area. School is @ 6,700 and growing.

So with now 6 to be soon 7 Fraternities and only 3 Sororities, what is wrong with me wanting expansion as it seems to be a thing today.

New School Adviser is a SAM (Sammie) and a firm beleiver in Greeks and wanting expansion!

So, why keep women out of the experience if they do not care for the current GLOs?

You must have a 1/2 empty glass.

Chapters will make it as long as they are spoon fed and protected and do not have to work to build!

Well obviously, the local closed because they didn't want to affiliate.

I'm guessing the other two closed because they didn't have enough members and couldn't compete with the other groups. As I said, no one wants to be on the bottom of the pile from the moment they begin.

The three sororities at your campus are all VERY old and it's going to be VERY hard for a new group to come on and compete with that sort of history. For what it's worth, I personally think a school with that many people should have more than 3 sororities too - but I'm in a different part of the country. What works in PA doesn't work in KS & vice versa.

Right now, are there so many women going through rush that the current sororities are all over total? Has this been going on for a while? Are the current sororities complaining about being too large? Once all that happens, expansion will be welcome. But probably not before.

Fraternities and sororities approach operations and expansion differently. PERIOD.

yes tom, how many members does each sorority have?

how many girls participate in formal recruitment? of those, how many receive bids, how many drop out and how many go thru prefs. but do not receive bids?

if we had this information, we might be able to shed some light on the non-expansion situation.
