Small club's growing again?

Good luck with your rush! It sounds like you're making a great effort and affecting change on your campus. What's interested me through this thread is that your school has determined that they can't have sororities because of some negative stereotypes but has a system that is EXACTLY what sorority life is. And by the way, almost every sorority has some sort of religious background, even if it's not their focus any more.

I don't know why I mention that, except that you really gain a lot from being a part of an inter/national organization. Someday your groups might consider affiliating with NPC or NPHC (are the Christian sororities part of NPHC?) I think your school might be pleasantly surprised at what they could offer your student body by way of leadership and support.

The school wants to keep a tight rein on the Greeks/Greeklike organizations. Period. It has nothing to do with stereotypes, even if that's the excuse they give. This way a school can shut down a group overnight if they want and the group really has no recourse, where by contrast a chapter of a national group can stay open if the national group is behind them.
