Possible new sorority coming to Ole Miss

[stef831]

So I thought it was interesting that I heard some news off the cuff- not public yet that a new sorority is coming to Ole Miss- I think it's one of the omega's but not 100% yet. My daughter's friend was telling her about it. I think it would be good as the enrollment at Ole Miss has steadily climbed in the last few years and those going thru recruitment has also markedly increased as well. I also found out that variable quota is in effect this year as well. So it appears this will be staying for a little while yet. My daughter is sad that she is missing recruitment this year as she is studying abroad but so looking forward to meeting her newest sisters in January.

Please do forgive me...I am not greek. I think the only other one I know of is Alpha Chi Omega- as the already have Chi Omega there. I don't believe they have done a presentation and usually don't they do one prior to any type of colonization?? It is all word of mouth so I am not 100% sure of the authenticity of all this but there has been talk enough so, that it has filtered down to some of the other sororities. I wonder if there is a way to confirm this??

There is a process for NPC extension on any campus. First, there is a vote whether or not to start the extension process, then a time table is set for any interested groups to apply. A second vote is taken by the college Panhellenic on which groups to choose to have present their extension package/plan. Then there is a final vote on which group is chosen to colonize on a campus as well as a date for that process to occur.

In my experience, it usually takes 6+ months at a minimum for this to occur.

And to my knowledge, Ole Miss has not opened for extension again. (and LaneSig's thread does not note this either).

Yes, that's the best way to find out. I agree with what everyone has said
