We have added 3 chapters in less than 2 years and they have voted to add another chapter in the fall. The director of Greek Life wants to keep the chapters as small as possible (total used to be over 50; now it's 40 and we can't get there). She also hand picked the national organizations that she wants on campus, and sent expansion packets only to them. She wants to choose the organization "with a philanthropy that people like." Has anyone ever heard of this before?
We (the advisors) feel like the college is creating a no-win situation for us. We are never going to get to total if they keep adding new colonies. Our chapters have voted against expansion in the past, which resulted in vindictive treatment from the GL director. The chapters felt forced to agree to expansion again to please her.
Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this situation? Thank you for listening.

Small school in the North, 5 NPC chapters.
Hmmm. Anyone know if their group is presenting next week at a university like this? Maybe you can get word to your HQ and let them know the situation. Would save these groups time, money and future headaches.
