Ditto on the "too many Kappas" quote.....

Kappa Delta was one of the groups that successfully colonized at both Valparaiso University & John Carroll.

Yayyayyay! It's true! I just spoke with the new Director of Student Life, a Kappa Kappa Gamma, and she said that she told the locals last night at the Greek Council!

She said that most likely, the remaining groups (2 sororities, 1 fraternity) will directly affiliate with national groups and then I suppose more groups can be made up of the remaining interested students. I really think we have room for at least 3 sororities.

She also said that when she told them about how wonderful her pledgeship was and how you can actually build sisterhood bonds without hazing, they were pretty skeptical.

I expect that at least one of the sororities might make a last-ditch attempt to contact alums and get them to scream about it but what the alums should be screaming about is the rep of their sorority around here.

Carnation,
Best wishes on the future of Nationals on your campus!
Can't wait to see how this proceeds!

Carnation,
What school is that at again? I think almost everyone on here would like to know so that we can contact our National Extension Teams.
I am a founding member of the Iota Gamma Chapter and I do have to say it was drilled in to us no hazing and I'm sure they would (along with all the other NPC's) will make sure hazing doesn't happen anymore at the schools.

Carnation, Congrates!!! 1 Down a few more to go!

You are an inspiration to all of Greeks in the World!

The locals have continued to recruit while getting their ducks in a row for nationalization. This is Rush Week and a record of 77 girls went to prefs for the 2 sororities! Yeaa! There were various requirements, including a certain GPA, that the PNMs had to have before they could rush.

Now, here's the dorky part: a member told me that the administration (not the student life advisor) is requiring for the last time that all rushees get a bid. She has no clue how this will be done, only that both groups ranked the rushees 1 to 77 and quota is 39. I don't know what they plan to do if there are rushees--and there will be--that neither group wants. I mean, what do you do? "I'll trade you the skank ho and the ditz for the trash talker and the evil b@#ch"?

oh my!!! LOL

FuzzieAlum · #38 09-27-2002, 04:00 PM

What about girls whose grades are in the toilet? Like even if I have a .5 gpa, would they still have to give me a bid???

carnation · #39 09-27-2002, 04:06 PM

There was a minimum GPA to go through recruitment but I don't know what it was.

I hate forced bids!

violets · #40 09-27-2002, 04:19 PM

Carnation,
Yes, forced bids are not a good thing, but I guess it's just a "Let Go and Let God" situation. The women who cannot function within a group dynamic usually leave of their own accord pretty soon, (but not before causing some drama, of course).
This is just yet another reason to be excited for Nationals!
I hope the expansion process is a short one for your school, I think you'll be a much happier woman once they arrive!

OK, maybe this has been posted but I cannot find it....What NPC orgs were chosen to colonize??

carnation · #42 09-27-2002, 05:05 PM

Nobody has been chosen yet but some favorites are cropping up when the girls talk.

Yes, I'll be happy when they nationalize! And so will a jillion other professors! Most of the remaining women have no intention of hazing pledges but just in case I had some "rogue elephants" in my class, I did the big announcement today: NO HAZING IN MY CLASS! NO STUPID COSTUMES, ESPECIALLY WITH DEELYBOBBERS!!! NO ROCKS FOR SIGNING!!! AND NO ANNOUNCING THAT YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO THE OPPOSITE SEX!!!

Another Georgia GreekChatter saw them get thrown out of KMart a couple of years ago because they were marching a group of singing pledges through. Siggghhh....

FuzzieAlum · #43 09-27-2002, 05:25 PM

Do you know how they are going to do it? Are they going to do something like JCU, or are the individual chapters going to pursue the groups they like individually?

carnation · #44 09-27-2002, 05:34 PM

I don't know....this rush should bring them up to over 80 each, plus I truly think we'll have room for a third. Possibly the 2 groups will each go with a national plus there could be a colonizing rush for the third group.

Tom Earp · #45 09-27-2002, 06:09 PM
