Bringing more sororities to Rutgers

[KSUViolet06]

Your school needs to be open for sorority expansion in order for another sorority to colonize.

In order for that to happen, the school's Greek Life Office and Panhellenic community needs to see a need for another chapter, decide that the level of sorority interest there culd support another chapter, and vote to open for expansion.

In short, this is something that can't happen without the proper approval. It's not just going to happen because a fraternity thinks there should be another sorority.

And while you're at it, be sure to tell your fellow Rutgers Greeks that there are only 7 sororities at Rutgers. Greek Unity and all.

Didn't Rutgers just add Phi Sigma Sigma? Would a school be open for expansion again that quickly?

Not usually. There are some situations where a school will choose 2 sororities and have one colonize one year and one the next. However, I believe Rutgers only added one (Phi Sigma Sigma.) I doubt they'll be opening again for a few years.

I think they would be, especially since Phi Sigma Sigma took over the Sig Ep House last year and Sig ep's have kind of died off ever since. It seems to be that fraternities around here can not survive too well without a house. I mean technically they are still around, their numbers are very low. There are many more factors to this but in the end my main point is greek life is slowly dieing here at Rutgers and what better way to revitalize it than to bring a NPC organization. Those are the ones that typically get publicized the most, and catch the interest of non greeks to join greek life.

You finally admitted that you made a mistake. Congratulations. Now fuck off.

Or you could just have admitted your mistake without copping an attitude.
But that's cool, tell the person who pointed out your mistake they're handling it wrong. You showed them! Darn angry "specific groups" always demanding to be recognized.

That is not how NPC expansion works.

OK, not counting the NALFO/NPHC groups, there are 26 fraternities. If some of those are very low in members, then having 7 sororities is probably just right.

Sororities use quota and total to (try to) make them all the same size. Fraternities don't do that however. You can have one with 100 members and one with 15 members on the same campus, and they can both be perfectly healthy.

What campuses strive for is parity of number of members between IFC & NPC...in other words, you want to try and have (example) 300 fraternity members and 300 sorority members. Typically the way those numbers are distributed is going to lean toward fewer sororities than fraternities.

It sounds more like the fraternities need to get their shit together and stop playing musical houses. This happened at my campus and it just made things a mess. Also, sororities do not want to colonize on a campus where the fraternities are unhealthy.

^^^^New colonies don't get people interested in Greek Life.

[KSUViolet06]

School officials don't say "oh hey, fraternity numbers are declining. Let's add a new sorority!"

And really, Rutgers JUST added Phi Sigma Sigma. Sorority life is not on the decline there. School officials likely don't see a NEED for a new group at this point.

Perhaps the Greek Life Office could have explained this to the OP.

Nah, gotta be hard on people when they dont use gc as an absolute last resort to getting their question answered and don't use the most politically correct way of phrasing their quesiton.
