Hey all! Wow, thanks soooo much for your support and excitement for us! I have to say this is truly an exciting time for SHSU and us. To fill you in on what's going on...we met with three nationals: Sigma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Sigma Alpha. All three organizations were absolutely wonderful and were very impressed with us. We gave each national a notebook full of our info (constitution, bylaws, academic and philanthropy info, etc) and bombarded them with questions!! We did feel a strong connection with both Tri Sigma and Alpha Xi Delta. As an organization, we took a vote. Our president attended the Panhellenic meeting and discussed who we wanted, as well as what the three other sororities on campus as well. Then the PC took a vote, however only the president knows who was chosen until a formal announcement is made. Hopefully, this will be made soon. Right now, our panhellenic advisor is trying to secure housing for the new organization (hopefully us!) and once that is taken care of, an invitation will be sent to that sorority. Next, that sorority has to decide on whether or not they will accept that invitation and whether or not they would like to take us over...at least this is our understanding of this.
As for my sorority, to give you guys a little background info, we were founded in March of 1993 with the sole purpose of becoming a national sorority in the future (who knew that it would take 8 years - but that's okay, good things come to those who wait)! If I am correct, I believe some of our past members petitioned the university to bring another sorority on campus for us, but because there was not a need for another sorority, this did not happen. After, unfortunately, Chi Omega's chapter closed here, a severe need was seen. The sorority wasn't invited on here specifically for us, like aopirose said, that option has been given to the new sorority. I'll keep you all updated as soon as i get more info! Thanks again for your support!
