1. UWF is not a commuter university anymore. I did live off campus, but that's because greek life isn't supported on my campus. 2 Fraternities had dorms, but they lost them because the brothers of each organization didn't want to get enough people to live in the dorms.

UWF has tons of housing. I personally didn't care for it too much, but in my last year trust me you didn't wanna keep communting for once. Parking is way over filled and there is almost never enough parking at once for students who commute.

2. Yes AXO came to UWF in 2006, but it's not really that big of a deal. 4 Soroties for 6, pretty soon 7 fraternities?

3. Student population doesn't matter. University of Miami has 10 IFC frats and 10 Sororities and it's the same size as UWF (10,000 undergradates). I am sure there are many other universities that follow this same trend.

4. I know sisters of all 4 sororities at UWF. They are good but none of them stand out. I can't really say anything negative about any of them, but there isn't one out of the 4 that really strike out to me like the IFC fraternities.

While they are good, the main issue IMO in general is that greek life at UWF has became unstable and almost non-existant. The element of secetcy doesn't exist anymore at UWF. People can't keep their mouths shut about anything.

An example would be that pretty much, everyone knows a little bit of what each fraternity and sorority does. Such as pieces of each others rituals and things that people would consider bad are spread around campus way too fast.

You should all be for bringing new greek life to UWF. UWF's greek life is way too weak to began with. The University makes way too many rules to stop things that would be condemed as "wrong" or "not tolerable", but many greeks can agree that it wouldn't be greek life without certain elements involved (such as what is practiced in certain rituals).

Not a lot of greek organizations have survived at UWF either. There has been 9 IFC fraternity attemps, and now there is only 6, maybe soon enough 4-5 due to the progress that organizations continue to make. Kappa Sig had a colony, never made it. PIKE is trying to return but currently is not around at the moment and DTD was kicked off campus a lil while back. And 4 out of 5 sororities still exist (Phi Mu was kicked off a while back).

Only the leaders of tomorrow can save UWF greek life. If you think you got what it takes, if you don't hold back, and you can recruit some bad asses, it might be possible.
Um, what?

And about your ending point: girls can "recruit" all the "bad asses" they want, but the school still needs to be open for expansion for anything to happen with NPC sorority expansion.

UWF is always open for expansion since I know all the GA's and people in Greek Affairs. The people who work for greek affairs don't mind more organizations since it helps expand UWF and make it more legit. They even said it themselves that to let the strong organizations survive and let the weakest die out.

And bad asses are strong, which means they deserve to be in greek life which is what UWF is looking for.

Do you know what goes into making the decision for sorority expansion?

Clearly you do not.

It's not about how many "bad asses" are interested and what can make the school "legit."

Also, no school is "always open for expansion." Educate yourself.

Okay, can we just back up this logic? It truly makes no sense.

UWF is looking for strong bad asses who deserve to be in Greek life? Are you high? I have no idea how this fits into ANYTHING. I'm assuming you aren't a girl. So perhaps the members of the fraternities are looking for bad asses, but UWF (as a whole) is probably not.
