Extension criteria....

[GeekyPenguin]

MR. Conard, do you often call women you don't know old sows in person, or is this a newfound internet trait of yours? (not sarcasm, just scolding)

Erik, in the immortal words of the Gipper, there you go again. I happen to KNOW some of the sisters of the local (Beta Chi Upsilon, 1959-1967) who became my ASA chapter, and I really don't appreciate you saying some of the things you just said about Clarion students of that day and age. And just for the record, TKE didn't come there till 1967....I wouldn't be surprised if the school was waiting till there were more agreeable persons involved with the expansion team.

I would be offended by you calling me an old sow, if it weren't so laughable coming out of your mouth. I said I was sorry if I had misinterpreted you, allowed this would have been a good discussion if perhaps phrased differently, and you respond by not only insulting my school, you insult the whole frigging eastern seaboard. You should have stopped after one line, instead of digging a hole that is impossible to crawl out of.

Oh, and WTF is with the "join us?" Please tell me you are not participating in cloning experiments.

Just keep my school's, my sorority's, my fraternity's, and MY name out of your posts, and we'll get along fine.

Phis Psi Russ, I don't think Greeks will scam other Greeks by talking abount expansion priorities most oppurtunities are well known.

Why don't you contact your HQ, and ask them to write, in detail, your extension criteria so that you can post it on GC. Not the generic stuff from a brochure, but what really is discussed behind closed doors.

You won't get that level of information because it involves too much internal politics.

Phi Psi Russ:

1.CCNY still accepts GED's without SAT scores still very close to open admission,but your correct not a completely open system, but the basic thrust of my point is very valid, the two best indicators of sucsess in greek expansion are : academic quality and retention of student body and current interest in Greek System.
2.DU posted a list of prospective colonies on its website and has published articles on expansion criteria as well. You are right, at least to some extent that specific policies on expansion are not commonly posted, but the specific policies generally implement and refine the general policies.I think Greeks are less secretive than they used to be and it varies from organization to organization.

Not anymore. That changed 4 years ago. The pendulum is swinging back in the other direction.
