They had over 700 signed up...not sure anything else.

AOPi will definitely be building up their house....it's in the process. I'm excited to see how this goes.

They can receive an invitation from possibly all eight but they can only accept up to 6 for Philanthropy. House Tours accept 4 max Pref. accept 2 max

Thanks. We are lucky to have such a great spot and irishpipes' description of the house sounds stunning. I wish that we would have been playing AR in Fayetteville this year so that I could have seen it but I can wait until 2010. I'm not sure what thier pre-recruitment numbers are.

Unfortunately, campus total is only 130, despite the fact that 6 of the 7 sororities (AOII makes the 8th) average 200 members. So, when AOII took quota+ last year, they were over total and could not COB to get closer to the average chapter size. So they are the second smallest chapter, but above total after FR.

Wait, am I the only one on campus here? Irish, you here?

Starts on Saturday, girls have been blowing up my phone constantly for information on girls from my hometown. Pretty excited about the close of their rush finally.

I know in one of the original threads about AOPi colonizing at Arkansas, a newspaper was quoted as saying the possibilities of another expansion at Arkansas (several of us joked about who would be invited). Do you think another expansion is a strong possibility in the next couple of years (a la Alabama)?

I know this wasn't addressed to me...

depending on the results of rush this year (that is, if a certain chapter on campus does well, or even poorer than previous years), you may see that chapter fall and expansion be promised to a national which promises plenty of money for housing...just a thought. The aforementioned chapter has already gotten in serious trouble with Panhellenic already and has thus had their rush affected. We'll see how they do.

And the Zeta house does look immaculate these days, at least from the outside.

Maybe it's late but I don't get what you mean.

There is a chapter that could A) do well in recruitment or B) do really badly in recruitment and still be screwed???

That doesn't make sense to me.

And that's not really how NPC expansion works...
