Advise Needed!

[33girl]

Unless your school has a cap on membership (like Ohio State used to but doesn't any more) imposed by either Panhellenic or the administration, there are NOT 80 girls with "nowhere to go." Previous posters explained how quota works during rush. The three remaining sororities will just get bigger for a time than some members would care for them to be. This sucks, but that's life. It's far better than adding a chapter when there really isn't a need for it and then seeing it close down 5 years later because it was only opened due to a one-time bump in numbers. You may think it's best for you now, but you need to think ahead to the women who may be struggling when you're graduated and gone.

If a campus is under investigation by a task force, it usually is not a situation that an NPC group would want to come in to. Also, if a campus is under this sort of investigation, a local will have everything they do scrutinized even more because they'd be an easy scapegoat.

Go through formal rush in the spring and keep an open mind to the sororities that are on campus now. If you (and the other 79 girls you are speaking for) can't do that, then Greek life on this campus probably isn't for you.
