Nationals Coming to My College!

[FuziCrayon]

Just to clarify - we were NOT told that we had to go national or disban. We were told we could affiliate with an organization, or stay local... but we had to make a group decision. I'm not sure about ABs future. They have a pretty strong sorority and a even stronger past. Also, our college is expensive. Many of the current Greeks have a hard time paying $60 per semester. They were worried about going national partially b/c of the money. SO, next year during rush, we'll see if the new sisters/pledges are willing to dish out the dough or if they need to save the money and go with the less expensive group. Not only do potential sisters look at what the sorority "looks" like (PS The Phi Mus that came to visit were very very classy women. Not all cookie cutter, but classy.) but also how much it will cost the student.

Sounds like things are really heating up down there in Georgia! Best of luck to Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Delta, Phi Mu, and the ladies of Delta and AB, as well as all the non-Greek PNMs in sorting it all out!

Ok, can someone tell me what campus we are talking about now? Or is it still undercover?

I waylaid an AB who cme over to see my daughter last night. They took another vote, still with no permanent results. A bare but simple majority voted to stay local but their constitution requires two-thirds. Many people could not come for the vote. Those who want to go national say they will walk if they don't nationalize.

Either way, I don't think AB will last long. From what I hear, it's the very strong go-getters who want to go national.

Yessss! Tonight the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta are holding an interest group meeting! They're expecting 20-25 women. I was working on fall registration materials and all these older ladies went by with big grins and pots of African violets.

Good luck to the Deltas!

Delta Sigma Phi and Chi Phi have been installed as chapters. Phi Mu will be installed as a chapter on April 3! The local sorority is continuing to look lame because of the nationals.

No word yet from the Delta professor who put on the event last night. I hope it went great!

Thanks carnation, I am sadden as you well know!

[carnation]

YEAH!! Just got an email from the Delta professor and they had a great turnout and expect more interest from our 2 satellite campuses in Atlanta.

And the ladies of AKA are holding an interest meeting in the next few days; the campus is pink and green with signs!(Much to the amazement of the local sorority, whose colors are pink and green--they think they have an exclusive right to those colors!)

Okay, ten years later and thanks to LaneSig and his thread, I know that ADPi just announced that they will be absorbing the last local, "AB"! I am thrilled!

I don't know exactly how it happened yet--I don't guess there was an opening for applications or we would've known. The local ADPis are thrilled and we know some AB alums who hope to be initiated! One AB alum told me that the alums were told that they would be nationalizing but not which group it was.

Amazing they lasted another 10 years.
