The Recruitment Story That Became a Novel

[pbear19]

I cannot offer practical advice about expansion. But, I am a person who tends to get emotionally attached to ideas. Not everyone does, but I can empathize with you there. And a few of the things you wrote in your post are really worrying me, and I want to caution you against getting overly emotionally attached to the idea of expansion. If I've learned one thing about Greek life over the years, both on my own campus, from friends at other schools, and on GC, it's that expansion doesn't happen just because a few women want it to. The stories I'm most familiar with personally all involved women who very much wanted expansion to happen, but it just wasn't right for the campus, and those women were disappointed to say the least.

I wish you the absolute best of luck. But no matter what, please be sure you have a plan B for your emotions.
