Colonization at the University of Alabama?!?

[BamaGal1203]

If this is true, the whole thing has been handled in a very unprofessional manner and will appear to me to be a "done deal." The nationals presenting who put time and effort into this should be informed of any outcome before some loose cannon shoots off her mouth on a chat board. Frankly, I am very disappointed in the process.

It may be the case that the recommendation of the committee has always been voted on and affirmed in the past. A lot of things work that way it seems to me. It doesn't mean it was a bogus process, just that the final vote isn't actually likely to change the outcome. It might even be the case that all the full vote could do would be send the extension committee back to the drawing board, rather than change the groups selected.

Alabama wins no matter which groups are selected.

If the info IS accurate, yea Syracuse Triad at Bama! (I bet it was the wikipedia entry that tipped the scales ) and yea DG is 2010!

Is it unusual/unheard of for extension committees to make recommendations based on the info given to them?

No.

For someone who works at the University, I'd say t hat was pretty unprofessional to post that since it is not public knowledge.... almost as unprofessional as say, that PiPhi girl who came on here and posted "it's not final yet, but here's how my chapter voted!"

I get your point, but . . .

Is "professional" the right word to use if we don't really know it was an employee who posted it? Maybe we should go with immature, un-panhellenic, or in the cases of people revealing what was discussed in confidence at chapter, a violation of ritual.

We can be ridiculous is so many ways on GC that have nothing to do with what we do professionally.

Let's leave the unprofessional behavior to the professionals, like the folks at DePauw last year.

well considering that Bama Alumna mentioned she worked for the university, yea, I think I'd use the word 'unprofessional'. in addition to the other lovely words you pointed out.

As t*p mentioned, she said she was employed by UA in the link I posted. Granted, that post was from some time go, but still..

And I think you meant DePauw.

I did, and I even thought I typed it. I'm sorry for sullying the reputation of the fine institution of DePaul.

As a side note beyond all this I thought I'd throw in the pile the fact that Alpha Phi has also been selected to present at Georgia Tech along with Pi Phi and KD. The colonizing sorority will be announced in April. So if A Phi is chosen at Bama and Tech that will be a lot of strain on those local alums but also a much needed push into the south for them!

Do you understand how the extension process works? From your posts, I gather that you do not. I will edit my above post & remove the memo, but I don't understand your assertion that things were handled unfairly or unprofessionally. In what way did the University of Alabama or their NPC not follow the NPC guidelines for extension?

By the way, I no longer work for the University. I quit working there last year & have moved on to better things. Thanks.
