A year after I sent them spell- and grammar checked text, and their site is STILL wrong.

I would be EXTREMELY leery of joining an organization that's trying to expand this quickly. It's very likely to blow up in their faces. It wouldn't preclude you from ALSO joining an NPC if you made that choice, but it could end up costing you a lot of money that would just go down the drain.

For a good minute or so I thought that said Theta Phi Alpha and my jaw was on the ground... <breathes a sigh of relief> Good luck to them... I was definiately surprised at the number of colonizations in such a short amount of time... anyone know what the size of their chapters is?

I wasn't thinking about joining that sorority, but I thought that was pretty interesting. As far as their website goes, it says they are only at FSU and UF.

I'd like to join a NPC sorority for sure! I'm just having a hard time finding one to do COB with!

Lavender, you can also check out each UCF sorority's chapter web site. Often there will be contact information for the president or recruitment chair. Send a brief, polite email expressing your interest in COB events and XYZ sorority. Make sure to include a phone number you can be reached at. If they are interested, they will contact you.

Also-- make sure to spell check that email before you send it and make sure an email you send to XYZ sorority doesn't say "I'm really interested in learning more about ABC sorority!"

That is a good idea! A few of the sororities I've been looking at have websites that do not list very much info. The xyz sorority I have been looking into doesn't even have a website up! I guess I'll just head up to the student union! =/ I just wish I hasn't missed recruitment, this COB thing is very stressful. They are keeping the COB events so secret! I can barely figure out when they are. lol but it's okay, what's meant to be will happen!

Keep in mind that some chapters who made quota during formal recruitment only have a few spots to fill before they get to total. Sometimes, it's like 10 spots or less. So the chapters that are that close to total might not advertise their COB events because they wouldn't want like 30 girls showing up when they can only take a few of them.

There's a message on the Panhellenic web site to stop by or call their office b/c there are some sororities doing COB. So you have a shot.

I will tell you that not all of the chapters do COB after recruitment or in the spring. You may find that 3-4 of the chapters are holding these events, if at all, but as KSUViolet says, the number of members they take per chapter during COB varies according to their needs. One chapter might take 10 ladies, another might only take 3.

Regardless, I hope you have some luck with that. Let us know.
