I'm sorry - I misunderstood. I read it as she rallied the girls who didn't get bids, and that was the complete makeup of that group of 50.

Are y'all allowed to do informationals with the Freshmen??? It might not be a bad idea to get all of the Greek-hopefuls together and let them know that these two groups are NOT university approved and NOT NPC groups, and do not (yet) have the approval to become NPCs. If you're a freshman and can't wait to rush, someone luring you in with "join our group NOW because you can" is probably pretty tempting if you are only fed BS and don't have the whole story.

We've never done anything like that [as far as I know]. We are concerned about them being manipulated about all of this, and although these groups aren't even Greek [yet], a stretch is to consider it dirty rushing. The freshman girls were told that should something happen this semester, they wouldn't be included since they don't have the credit & GPA requirements yet, but they will be included in future semesters. They were told all of this, mind you, after we cracked down on the groups for not telling them those rules and even for using the letters of the organizations they are 'going to become' on their web pages.

Formal begins the middle of February and we get back to school at the end of January, so I'll see if I can arrange some sort of informational session at the beginning of the semester. I just want these girls to actually come so they can hear it all.

Maybe make it "mandatory" for any woman who is considering going Greek (including future Greek groups). I'm sure if you include some anti-hazing/PC junk in there, your Greek Life director will agree to it.

Do these organizations know these groups are using their letters with the claim of becoming a chapter? I would think most if not all NPC groups would make complaints to said group(s) about that. Arent our letters copyrighted material?

We advised the girls to remove them, and they did. I believe that they truly didn't know that it was wrong and weren't aware of the proper sequence of events. After talking to them and had they not removed it, I would have gone further up.
