Danger of expanding into Devry

I work for DeVry Its a great institution; offering Associates, Bachelors, and Master's programs in Business, Information and Technology.

I know of a fraternity
that has chapters at
quite a few schools
offering associate
degrees and certificates
in working with a
textile loom. Should I
forward you their
information? But be
careful because you acne
faced kids are too
young to understand
these things.

Totally agree with you - I have seen so many chapters of a few particular fraternities struggling because their HQ is overextended. I'd rather be in a very strong middle-sized sorority (which I am) than be in a huge one that's overextended and not providing for its' chapters.

This woman is using a
loom. I believe she
is also in a sorority.
Notice her toga outfit.
Greeks love looms as
it typifies our strong
values.

I think that about sums this thread up.

Quality thread, Rudith, quality thread.

I think the greatest danger of expansion is that which comes from fraternities which expand at campuses with known hazing problems just so they can say they have yet another chapter and someday, somehow, they will catch SigEp and SAE.

Definitely. Sad as it is to say, the chance of a fraternity expanding to the UW and not succumbing to the hazing culture among frats here is pretty slim . . . yet we've had two new colonies formed here in the past year. I know guys across the Greek system, including these fraternities, and a lot of them are great guys, but that doesn't stop them from perpetuating a hazing culture.

I think that the UW will be a hazing school, at least on the fraternity side, until there's either a major movement from several fraternity HQs to put the smack down on hazing or we rebuild from the ground up. Neither of those are very plausible.

Very entertaining thread... LOL...

But yeah, expansion into Devry would be a very bad decision in my humble opinion...

GO BEACH!!!

OK, now I'm afraid to go home tonight for fear of flaming poopypants. I've just recovered from having ACTUAL DEER BONES on my porch in my neighbor's Halloween display.

I think all sizes of GLOs can overextend - I would sooner see my sorority not expand for 10 years and have all our chapters be strong, than have them open a chapter a year in that period and close 7 of them.

Do you know about
the pajamas with
the butt flaps or the
wheel you push
around with a stick?

What is a "whipper snapper?" I've always wanted to know.

Ooh! Ooh! Allow me!

"Whipper-snapper: A 'whipper-snapper' is an inexperienced and frequently precocious young person who is probably so called after a 'whipster', literally 'a cracker of whips' who was portrayed as a lively, mischevious individual."

-- From "Lock, Stock & Barrel: Familiar Sayings and their Meanings" published by Past Times.


I got this book for Christmas two years ago.....I knew it would eventually come in handy some day!

well, we can go to cooking schools, to automotive ones, to
extensions, to just about everything...just think, we can count
the potential chapters by scoping out the shopping centers and
malls. And Mason City School of Auctioneerying, Cleveland College
for Chiropractors, Bruce's Cosmetology Institute, golly...so many
potential ones...in fact, we might even get on-line ones and not
have a hazing problem....goll-ee...the potential is unlimited. And
perhaps we could name Rudith Dean of Girls...well, never mind,
let him write the humor and some of the girls can proof it. Or
even better, let Tom proof it.

Puts a smile on my face.

Muchas gracias, Rudith.

Sorry but little words and Sigs are unimportant.

Some are still inconciquenctiable or what ever. Have Fun !
