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.

We had 5 chapters of 18 (19? Can't remember!) that struggled to make quota each year in a system that was heavily tiered. The solution from Panhel? Expansion with a new sorority. We were given some of the same explanation about creating more excitement with a new chapter. We didn't need more excitement. We had over a thousand women going through rush already. One of the key problems was the inability of the stronger chapters to panhellenically support the struggling ones. 4 of the 5 chapters that struggled have since closed.
I'm with you TigerPiPhi. I never understood this recommendation.
