A very dressy FLORIDA STATE recruitment!

I agree, to a point. Let's be honest, not everyone is appropriate for the Greek system. Then it becomes an assortment of clubs rather than selective membership organizations.

However- when more than twice as many are interested in a colony than they have room for, it makes me wonder. Are those numbers typical? It makes sense that a colony doesn't just accept everyone (mutual selection and all) and I know some will go for a colony that wouldn't go through formal, but if there are that many women that are interested chances are a good portion of them would make great sisters somewhere. No we will never solve the issue of not matching everyone- and that's okay.

I obviously don't have access to the stats so my data points are limited, but both PNM & PPT are sophomores and based on others' comments it sounds like there's a large disadvantage at going through there as an upperclassmen. Maybe an upperclassmen quota is something that would help out here.

PNM & PPT... best wishes to you both.

That is something lacking at FSU and hopefully that will be remedied.

But as far as new colonies...could FSU conceivably have a campus where every NPC group has a good sized chapter? Yes. IF the PNMs and the campus in general would be open to joining groups that are new, or not as much name recognition in the area, or not as much alum support. You have to start somewhere. But it is so, so, so costly, in plain old $$$ and in man-hours, to start a colony someplace like this and the thought of it not succeeding is the kind of thing that keeps national councillors up at night.

In other words, if it was that dang easy to do it, everyone would have already done it.
