What I've heard
Fraternities are ECSTATIC about having another sorority. More girls, more socials and more pairings.
Sororities are mixed. Some feel that when AOII opened up 3 years ago (which by the way, is doing an AWESOME job for a relatively new sorority) that it hurt numbers across the board. I personally disagree, seeing as how 1,000 girls STILL arent making it through rush.
Because of the intense rush process for women at IU, some girls think that a 20 party will be a bit much (for the girls going through recruitment). I think that adding another sorority (or two...hopefully
) will take some of the competitiveness off of the rushees and force it onto the sororities....
This will add at least another 100 spots for women.
We'll see what happens. I'm concerned about housing for this new group. IU is VERY strict on land and there are no new spaces to build. Where will this new group have a house. Part of AOII's instant success was that they A.) Were smart and rushed after formal recruitment was over (to get the great girls who either didnt feel like going through 18 party or for one reason or another got cut) and B.) Because they were able to show off that new southern style mansion that they had made plans to build.
I wish the girls the best of luck
