I was on AAC for our chapter at Duke two or three years ago and knew about AOII's problems when they invited an officer from NPC to speak to all the chapter advisors about Panhellenic spirit and cooperation. Trying to get us as advisors to instill in the actives that we should promote Greek Life as a whole to PNMs, and not just our individual groups, for the strength of the entire system. The officer gave a very good talk, and it was enlightening to hear other advisors discuss about how they had good panhellenic support on their undergraduate campuses and not the caste system that exists at Duke. Too bad no real plan came from that meeting.
The officer then recommened expansion as a means to promote new interest in Panhell on campus with hopes that might somehow translate into reconsideration of AOII (or something like that, I guess), and it turned into a debate instead. Zeta happened to be recolonizing on campus (and strangely the top chapter actives were promoting this), but I never understood how that would help AOII. A new group was not going to divert attention for long from the "Core Four" nor was it going to get PNMs to consider the other existing campus groups as different but still cool ways to be Greek on campus.
I liked the first part of her talk but never understood her recommendation.
