amen me too!

apparently my opinion makes people upset....so sorry if this is now vague and makes no sense

As an Elon alum, here is my guess...
I think its going to be ABC and here's why:
1. the university is growing by leaps and bounds and are trying to compete with larger well known university in so-con like Wake Forest and JMU. Bringing a larger (not the the other orgs aren't large or have huge alum bases- don't flame me!) like ABCwill be a very positive move for the greek life office.
2. This is a really silly reason, BUT there there is already confusion between all the "Alpha" sororities- AMN. ARZ. and AJQ that bringing another Alpha org like AXY or AWK will just add to the confusion!

on my campus we have Alpha Phi, AXiD, ADPi, and AGD and we don't seem to have a problem mixing up the chapters

i mean it's anyone's game. Alpha Phi is well known but not in the south. i can see the school moving more towards ADPi and Tri-Delt because they are big southern chapters but Alpha Phi has 2 big alumnae chapters in the area (Raleigh and Greensboro). plus with the Duke chapter right up the road, along with the 2 other chapters in the state, we are just as well known at ADPi and Tri-Delt in NC. I know both of those sororities having chapters at other schools in the area but don't say one has a better chance because it's well known or that it might be confusing. putting the confusion aside, we all have a good chance.

Whatever the letter, we're all Greek together!! May the best sorority - at this time, on this campus! - get the colony!

true true

where was my panhellenic spirt?? it escaped me!!!

I just want to know!! It is almost 11:30EST, and yet I'm still checking the school and all the presenter's websites, as if some insane national will be up posting the news at this hour

[Xylochick216]

Sorry to disappoint, but I don't even know when they are voting.... I'm assuming tomorrow night or Wednesday because exams start Thursday morning. But you know I'll be posting as soon as I hear

I am changing the GLO affiliations because people are too sensitive for open discussions. sorry if it doesn't make any sense....

honestly, it will all depend on the presentations and the women who make up the panhellenic board. I was there when Sigma Kappa colonized as well as when they were deciding on AXO coming on board. Those two orgs nailed their presentations. Everyone was really impressed with both those groups. Where as the other orgs that were also up for the colonizing process, were other very large national groups, their presentations weren't as stellar or had enough alum in the area to show support.
it's all up in the air now. I personally would like to see RFO colonize, but I really have a hunch it will be SBB. But whom ever it is, Elon is a great greek campus and the chapter without a doubt will thrive.
