No need to apologize. Like Tom said, it happens. I was just providing a link to a similar recent discussion.

Pi Beta Phi will be recolonizing the DC Alpha chapter at George Washington University. The recruitment will be in October and installation in January.

Pretty agressive for us, but 3 of our 4 new affiliates are former locals, so we expect that chartering should go quickly. The Miami effort is mostly alumni driven, as they are well-organized. If all of these projects work out, we will be 33% larger when all is said and done.

I really hope you are misinformed. The last thing UNC needs is yet another fraternity.

I'm curious as to why you feel UNC does not need another fraternity?

[Sailboat Sis]

I believe UNC is up to 21 fraternities that are IFC, plus two that are in the process of recolonizing. While some houses are doing very well for themselves, other houses are struggling. I do not think expanding, in terms of the number of houses, will do anything beneficial for those that need more members. The current policies make it too easy to add more chapters to our campus, whereas they should be structured like Panhel's where a house has to join through hoops to return/colonize. I also take issue the disportionate number of fraternities to sororities... and that when we have mixers, the ratio is probably 2.5 girls to 1 boy.

SailboatSis,

I don't think you're going to get anywhere on this one. Boys are different.

Just have mixers with 2 fraternities at once.

[Buttonz]

As it was said already, we are colonizing at Pace and at Nova Southeastern in FL

[Tom Earp]

Mabe Sororitys should take a lesson from Fraternitys and look into expansion that is so structured that it may keep girls from joining existing houses.

And this is a bad thing?

Hey, us girls prefer it to be a bit more the other way. That said we had plenty of socals with 3 small fraternities to our 1 sorority. That was fun to..

Tom: NPC expansion WORKS for the vast majority of cases. Women who choose not to join existing GLOs do not tend to do so because of the GLO in question, but because of the women in the GLOs. Those women would be the same no matter the letters because they're all coming from the university.

Muah! This is coming from a boy, no less.

Back to the topic at hand...I heard Alpha Phi will be recolonizing at UNC-Wilmington in a few weeks.
