I'm sure the leaders at Alabama have discussed these ideas before but their enrollment doesn't seem to be slowing down.

Not sure if anyone shared Arkansas Panhellenic's 2012 plan with you guys....

Just a few random comments on that...

1. Those chapter sizes are all over the map (the 2 newest excluded of course). Have they stabilized somewhat since then?

2. This is the second time I've read a university/panhel talking about "NPC rules for extension" re how many chapters can come on and how quickly. Is there really such a thing? Every campus is different, and I've never heard of anything like "campuses can only expand after the new chapter has been there x years" or anything. It sounds like a new brothel law.

3. STOP USING THE PHRASE REACH OUT BEFORE I REACH OUT AND SMACK YOU.

LOL at number 3. Toooo true!

Also, it sounds funny coming from my former bed rush campus that used to place less than 40% of the girls who rushed.

A couple more random comments

1. Is Arkansas the type of campus where PNMs have the best chance to be successful at recruitment freshman year? Is that why the PPT mentioned that the two newer chapters should have COB to recruit spring transfers?

2. The slide with the benchmark chapters, how did Nebraska get thrown in there randomly?

3. Also mentioned is that chapters need to believe that the campus will help with securing housing yet the only place mentioned is Walton Dorm. Do they think that will suffice in the long run?

Yes. Very much so.

No sorority permanently housed in Walton will survive. Walton is the old athletes dorm and is gross. Additionally, as the local point person on AOII's building project, I can tell you the chapter members and parents will not accept a dorm as a house.

As for AOII's house only taking 2 years, that is because we had a lot at the time of colonization. The 2 years were spent actually building the house. The situation now is totally different. These groups can't get lots. They can't even start the process of building. It is totally unfair to them but the administration holds all of the cards.

I just got sucked down the Zillow wormhole for about 30 minutes (it's a corollary to the well-known Wikipedia effect). It looks like the Pi Phi and KD houses are surrounded by single-family homes and maybe a couple of apartment complexes. Is there absolutely no willingness to sell among those homeowners?

My grandmother lived a few blocks away from the Pi Phi house, a block off campus. When she died, the university declared eminent domain and knocked down her big old house (ditto for several houses around it as the elderly owners died) and slapped down a parking lot. Never mind that she and my grandfather were longtime UA employees.

The AOII House backs up to it now; an older apartment complex used to be there. I'm surprised that the university hasn't extended its reach down towards the Pi Phi and KD houses and knocked down more houses and apartments.
