Schools that need to open for NPC expansion

[pinksequins]

For those in the know about TCU, what is the percentage of female undergrads who are in a sorority (NPC, NPHC, multi-cultural)? Is it near what may be thought of as a saturation point? Or is the approach more of reducing total/quota without necessarily affecting the percentage of undergrads who are members? I think that is what you are suggesting ComradesTrue. TCU is not a large school. The same thing strikes me about Sacred Heart. It too is not a large school. It is not as if 80 percent of the undergrad classes are unaffiliated from which to populate a colony.

Clemsongirl, thank you for the update. I too noticed that the village plans were no longer on the website.

The Panhellenic site for TCU states that 46% of undergraduate women are in sororities. I don't know if that is just NPC, or all sororities.

My understanding from reading the Panhellenic website that the 46% reflects just NPC. That also aligns with figures that I have heard that "over half the women at TCU are Greek." However, there would still be enough of a pool for a least a couple new groups.

I just read all the Panhellenic minutes, located here, from last semester. Nowhere in any of the minutes is there discussion about extension. I can't get the links for this semester to work.

Haven't some of the fraternities lost houses at UGA due to growth of the university? A former coworker's son's fraternity lost theirs for this reason, and they weren't the only one. Michael Adams was not popular in their family for this among other reasons.

Yes. They bought some of the houses on Lumpkin to expand the library and business school. I think it was one of those situations where the university owned the land and the GLO the house. Displaced fraternities were offered a new university owned house on River Road. I believe three fraternities are located over there. But the university owns the house and it is treated similarly to a residence hall. A fraternity member must be an RA, etc. So not all of the fraternities took the university up on the offer. They wanted more autonomy. I can't say I blame them.

Adams was a jerk. I'm so glad to see him gone. All he was interested in was building more sidewalks and fountains and raising tons of money. He wanted to cram as many students as possible into the university, but not invest in personnel. He never hired professors to keep up with the large increase in the student body. It was more important to build signs and green space. I swore he would never get a red cent of my money. And he didn't. I've only now just begun to donate again when the new president took over.
