If the members are comfortable with the pledge class sizes and they have sufficient room to meet in, they don't have to expand.

National HQs, for the most part, prefer 4 groups of 100 on a campus rather than 10 groups of 40. When campuses with smaller chapters decide to expand, it's usually driven by the sorority members in spite of what their HQ would prefer.

That makes sense.

When I was the Recruitment Adviser a few years ago, I know there was talk of bringing a 4th NPC group in, but the 3rd existing sorority was struggling a bit numbers-wise, so I don't think they went any further. This is all speculation, but it makes sense.

This year, quota was 54 and they got 29 new members through formal recruitment.

Were you at this years bid day?

[ladyj39]

No, but I got a report from the current adviser. I did see the pictures you posted on the Bid Day pics thread and loved seeing them all. I still can't believe how much bigger the houses are. Thanks for posting them!

I remember that third existing sorority when I was there. It seems to have always struggled, and other other two relatively stronger. I'm guessing a regionally strong fourth NPC might decimate the third house, so I see why one might not be really wanted. Great to see stronger Greek life at SFSU. When I was there, the locals appeared to be bigger than the National orgs. Now it seems to have a strong National presence too, which is great.

ETA: My SFSU undergraduate chapter held its reunion last month, and some of the activities took place on campus. It was great to have Sorors attending who hadn't been on SFSU's campus in 28 years.

I saw your sorors at the Meet the Black Greeks last week @ Jack Adams. They were looking good!

Soror, is the bolded a typo? LOL. If not, that's different. I've never heard of a "Meet the Black Greeks," but I've been to numerous NPHC "Meet the Greeks" events.

Nope. No typo. That's what they called it.
