AOPi at Arkansas

Any news on how bid day went? Their bid day for the new colony was yesterday.

They did pretty good I think. It was a good mix of Sophomores and Freshman. Some pretty cute freshman I do say, they were at our house last night. I have a feeling it was around 25 or so.

Congratulations to AOPi. I graduated from Arkansas State. They have a great chapter at ASU.

We did extremely well. The number 25 could not be more wrong. I am not going to post our bid number until I have officially been cleared to do so, but I was there. Let's just say we took more than quota was at U of A. We also did not take only freshmen and sophomores, although the majority are from those classes.

Congratulations, Irishpipes and AOPi. I am wishing you years of success. When you are cleared to talk, give us the full story.

Really? that's impressive. I didn't read quota....quota was 70 some for sororities, so that is very impressive.

Talked to a Sigma Nu, said the email he got told around 90 or so.

An article originating in the September 4, 2006 Arkansas Democrat Gazette discusses sororities at the U. of Arkansas - Fayetteville, including Alpha Omicron Pi. The main focus of the story is the increasing interest in sorority life at UA, and a desire to have more chapters than previously existed there.

http://www.nwanews.com/adg/News/165601

The article also touches on the upcoming (slated for January 2007) addition of fraternities and sororities at the U. of Arkansas - Fort Smith (Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu, Delta Gamma, and Gamma Phi Beta).

Just for fun, let's start randomly guessing who will come to campus in 18 months.

Just trying to create drama. Ha ha ha...

So to fuel the fire, Arkansas currently has:
Alpha Omicron Pi (2006 Colony)
Kappa Delta (1989)
Kappa Kappa Gamma (1925)
Zeta Tau Alpha (1903)
Chi Omega (founded here 1895)
Alpha Delta Pi (1957)
Delta Delta Delta (1913)
Pi Beta Phi (1909)

UA has had in the past:
Phi Mu (1923-1996 with a recolonization in there somewhere)
Alpha Chi Omega (1961-1977)
Delta Gamma (1930-1992)
Kappa Alpha Theta (1966-1989)

And for inquiring minds, the old Alpha Chi Omega house is now occupied by Sigma Chi. The old DG house is now "University House" but DG gets it back if they come back to campus. Don't know about Phi Mu or KAT's housing, but alumnae have said that it wasn't competitive. I don't know that for sure though.

There aren't any "empty" Greek houses so anybody new would probably have to build.

Total is 130, but some chapters have well over 200 - closer to 250.

I want theta or phi mu back. Traditional southern sororities. No offense to AOII, but it made absolutely no sense to bring them onto the campus. They have no alumni support, and are nationally a small sorority.

Oh my.

My guess is that the Univ. of Arkansas College Panhellenic voted -- and AOII was the choice. "John & Mary Everybody" don't get to vote in these decisions!

Looks like our Panhellenic Sisters at AOII are off to a great start & I wish them well.
