If I remember correctly, when I was a student in the early 80s, Miami had a chapter of all 26 NPC groups and all were large chapters, although not as large as they are today so whoever was chosen would be reactivating a dormant chapter. That is always special.

I am pretty sure that DPhiE has never colonized at Miami University of Ohio.

I'm not sure that we have either, unless Miami went by another name. I could be wrong though.

I DO however, hope that Phi Sig will be in the running!! What a great opportunity!

This is what I originally thought too but I've talked with the greek advisor here at UNCC and he says that it is up to the local Panhellenic to deceided if there is a need for a new NPC organization on the campus. Basically, he said that it was not necessary for all chapters to be at total in order to invite another one to colonize. I do believe he consulted the green book...

One of Panhellenic's goals is to make chapter sizes smaller for closer sisterhood, thus bringing in another sorority. Although I think it would be great to have another chapter on campus, I think it might harm the smaller chapters.

that's exactly what i'm worried about. especially with three chapters closing in the past 4 years.

What The??

http://www.mustudent.muohio.edu/arti...04&s=front&n=4

125 fewer women going through rush, 3 chapters lost in 4 years, chapters not at total and they want to expand??? This just sounds bad all around and like it would definitely kill the smaller chapters. Unless they don't give a crap about that.

and yes, I am bitter much LOL.

what is total there currently? is panhellenic hoping to decrease the total? if there are lots of houses under total, and so many recent closings, then it makes sense to lower total without bringing on a new group....and seeing how that affects the chapters currently at the school. that is just my two cents.

I believe AEPhi is closing at the end of the school year. Also Zeta recolonized (successfully) before SK closed.

I'm not sure exactly what total is, but all but one of the sororities are above total. All of the chapters are strong, but very large. Kappa, ADPi, and DG all have around 190 members, and the other chapters aren't too far behind.

I personally am a little concerned that expansion may harm the sorority that isn't at total, especially since they have improved so much in recruitment lately. However, I don't think that Phi Mu's expansion in 2003 negatively affected other chapters.

I don't think they've started looking into specific groups as of yet.
