LSU

[KSUViolet06]

There has been expansion talk at LSU for a few years now (according to GC LSUers).

It's one of those schools where groups seem to be hesistant to express interest in because of the housing situation (based on what you've said, there may be something available now though), the financial investment/time/manpower it takes to start an SEC colony, and the campus culture re: sororities.

A lot of schools like LSU are such that name recognition of a sorority is really important. Women are generally wary of pledging a sorority that doesn't have a strong regional presence (either in LA or in their respective Southern hometowns.) So it's hard for a new group to succeed there.

On the other side of the coin, the stigma of having had a chapter there and being closed tends to stick around. So bringing back a closed chapter can be hard too, depending on how recent it was.

These are just my observations regarding why it would be hard. Feel free to correct me if I'm off base at all.

With that said, I would love to see a new group there if it could work out and thrive.
