Possible presentation at at Dayton
Did anyone else in SW Ohio get the email today about the possibility of presenting for expansion at at university of Dayton? They are assessing alumni strength and asking about ability to serve on advisory boards, etc if they decide to present.
I have to say, I've got mixed feelings a bit. I love to see Kappa Delta expand, but SW Ohio is pretty saturated with UC, NKU, Wilmington College, Miami, Wittenberg and Wright State. If they colonize at UD, that would be 5 chapters in a 30 -40 mile radius, not to mention the 2 large chapters in greater Cincinnati. We have active alum groups in Cinci and Dayton, but that's a lot to support. It seems as if they are often sending out a call for advisors. Miami and Wilmington (and Springfield for that matter) are a bit off the beaten track for meetings if you live in the Cincinnati region and Dayton is not a large city. Of course, the more chapters you have the more alums you have, so maybe it's not an issue. I do love the idea of expanding nearby. SW Ohio is becoming KD Central!
I loved being an advisor, so any of you who are considering it....you won't regret it!
