Quota Additions at Super Competitive Schools

[KSUViolet06]

I think that gee_ess is coming from the perspective of Arkansas, which is a whole different ball of wax. They need an expansion pretty badly, but no one is biting on sumbitting materials because to be successful at UA takes big money to compete with existing groups.

The Panhellenic community there does recognize the need, but member groups are apprehensive, nothing happens, and chapters just keep getting bigger.

They set a record this year I'm pretty sure (quota was past 100.)

But they DO recognize the need for it.

Right, and like I said, I acknowledge there are some HUGE hurdles at some schools, probably the ones with the highest quotas for that reason. Not sure there's an easy solution there other than the entire school rallying behind a new chapter to ensure it survives (which requires ditching a lot of the tier bullshit that is still 'important' at some schools).

Not knowing Arkansas campus culture, I wonder if the sororities and fraternities could or would pull together like that in a show of support that would ease some of those fears, and if it would last.
