Gamma Phi in Texas

[gamma_phi_baby]

I in no way thought that the system was horrible, only that it was a hard place for a new chapter to open. I apologize if I was wrong about the climate over there. It was my understanding that new chapter has not opened there in many years? Is SDT a new chapter?

I am very happy to hear about the Greek systems success over there. I apologize for being misinformed.

SDT is not a new chapter...they just haven't been able to participate in formal due to low numbers and no house. They do have somewhat of a house now...it's actually in part of a church (I think) where they can hold meetings etc. They can not live there. They did participate in Open House rounds last year and had a sucessful spring recruitment. I really hope they can make a strong come back and be able to participate in formal recruitment this year.

No worries Gamma Phi Baby..it's just that those of us that have any knowledge or association with greek life at UT really have a hard time with the Big 6 mentality. It came from an article written in the early 70's and unfortunatley stuck. The other 8 sororities have had to work really hard to change the mentality, which usually stems from momas and grandmas telling thier daughters who then tell thier friends.

I went back and read your original post. I believe we already have a chapter at UT- Tyler. Don't forget our chapter at TCU, which is doing well.

Our chapter at UT-Tyler closed. They started the Greek system with three sororities, and imho, really should have just had two.

I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't know.
