I'm told that on March 31st there was a vote regarding potential expansion. Anyone know the outcome?

Thanks!

Well, I don't know how the vote turned out or whether it was to actually open for extension, but with two of the four groups nearing but not at Total (51) and the other two groups at around 30, I'm thinking it's probably not the right time. (And I'd insert the "rolls eyes" smiley here if I could figure out how to make the darn thing work. When I double click I just get the text description. Help?)

This is what I heard from our PCD for that campus.

"I have not heard anything, and since the pan total is set at 51, and not any of the houses are at 51 (or even close) I can't imagine they would have another chapter coming on campus."

BUT.......I heard from our NPC Delegate that she was told on March 30th that a vote was being held on March 31st.

All I know..............

I heard the rumor campus is opening to extension as well...

That rolling eyes smiley...it's such an annoying little bugger.

They should only be used by people who know WHEN to use them.

The vote was NOT to expand because 2 chapters voted yes and 2 voted no, therefore it's a no go. 1 chapter is either at total or only a few away, 1 is very close in the 40's, 1 is at 34 and the other is in maybe the 30's. There's a local on campus, Beta Epsilon who wanted to expand and petition Sigma Kappa to take them over. However, our bylaws state that each chapter must be at total for 2 years before we can expand. That went through revisions and 2 chapters wanted to change it and 2 chapters didn't, so that was also a no go. Things are quite divided on campus, with 2 chapters, AOII and AXD having to vote on how their nationals respond to this, so they both said no. There was confusion on the part of our panhellenic delegate and she accidentally voted yes, although we had talked to the Greek Advisor beforehand and said we were voting no. Confusion there, but it got cleared up, so NO EXPANSION! We are currently talking about having Beta Epsilon possibily participate in formal with us in the fall. Expansion isn't a good idea for our campus, which has a generally negative attitude towards Greek life and with our chapters not being where they should be for expansion. More selection could bring other girls out, but in the end I believe that it would hurt the chapters more than benefit them. Whew! If you have any other questions, you can PM me!

Maybe they should become SKEPi's next chapter.
