As I stated, our college campus formed an exploratory committee and are looking into sororities for colonization or re-colonization on our campus this is because the Greek Life adviser and our Student Affairs committee has found we are in the right place for expansion of our Greek Life community. The interest group is a group of women including myself that would be involved in the colony and then sorority chapter. We came together because of our relationships and our desire to present more options to our campus women because the last several years has seen a huge increase in campus enrollment and women going through recruitment. I had friends in each of the existing sororities but there are personal relationships that prevented me receiving bids. Researching various sororities, I have found several that align with my views better than the existing ones. There are those in the interest group with similar ideals and experiences. A new sorority would give more women the involvement in Greek Life and the women can create how the new sorority is perceived instead of the specific type women in the current organizations. I am not doing this just for me as it has been taken up by others.

This wording is a little different than in your first post. Your first post was more like "I liked all the sororities so equally much I couldn't pick just one but I'm still friends with everyone." This is more like "I did something to piss at least one sister in every sorority off."

Are you attempting to bring a historically Jewish group to campus? If not, then I have a hard time believing this. The 3 groups on your campus (ASA, AOII and Tri Delta) are a really wide mix as far as national size, philanthropy, founding principles and things like that are concerned. If what you mean is you're trying to create a "reputation-less" sorority, I'm sorry, but that's pretty impossible to do. Even if something starts as (example) the down to earth sorority, they could be the uptight priss sorority in 5 years.

And as irishpipes said, unless your school has a cap on the number of people that can be in a Greek organization, an increased number of women going through rush does NOT lead to an increased number of women being cut or not receiving bids.

No. She has mentioned KKG elsewhere, and I think KD?

Over in the KD forum she was talking about KKD. Yeah, I haven't heard of that NPC either.

#1 Rule for anyone involved in a colonization, ever: YOU DON'T GET TO PICK THE NPC's.

I know that sometimes there is a push for a historically Jewish group, but even then, the applicable groups can say "no thanks" in a quick minutes.

So true. There was a campus recently that only had one group send an interest package, so it was pretty much that group or no group. You can't force an NPC to have interest.

More than one. I can think of at least two and it was the same group both times. Both campuses were lucky to have them and in one case, the other groups were a little intimidated.

But that was Rachel Green's sorority.
