A Very Untraditional Recruitment/Expansion Story

[alum]

Wow, a CMU sorority story! I have met a couple of your AXO Tartan alums in DC.

When I was there in the days of the dinosaur, all 5 NPC groups lived above Margaret Morrison. It was very egalitarian as we all had the same square footage/floorplan with which compete. Now 2 Panhel GLOs have moved over to the fraternity quad. It seems as if this would skew the playing field.

Theta moved to the fraternity quad my sophomore year, and this is DG's first year on the quad (my senior year). I haven't heard anything through the PNM grapevine about this affecting their decisions (but Theta and DG tend to be the two houses with the highest return rates, regardless of physical space).

There have been plans in the works for a while now to tear down the old Roselawn Houses and Margaret Morrison Apartments in order to build a sorority quad with five 32-bed houses. However, they are waiting for one piece of land/house along the main road to go up for sale so they can snatch it up and start the building.

That is really interesting info. When I was there, one of these two groups was very strong, one was definitely not. It's nice to see that things can turn around for a chapter.

Thanks for the memories.

When I went to CMU (73-77) the DG house was the DU house, and most of my sisters were at least as familiar with that house as they were with our suite in Morewood Gardens (6D).

My best friend was a ChiO (she resigned her junior year), but they left campus.
