USM is currently open for NPC expansion...no earlier than next Spring (2014), but more than likely it'll be Fall of 2014. What this means is that any NPC group wishing to put in a proposal to colonzie at USM may do so now. When USM is ready, they'll choose their top contenders, bring the national groups on campus for a presentation and then the sororities currently at USM will each get a vote as to whom they'd like to offer the spot to. Yes, KKG has been mentioned. So has Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Phi, and perhaps AOPi. No one will know for sure which NPC groups are actually putting in proposals until they are presented to the CPC groups at USM. Bringing a new group on DOES NOT hinge on current groups staying at (or achieving through fall 2013 recruitment) chapter total. Yes, it is a concern that all groups currently at USM be healthy before bringing on a new group...but, the fact is that 6 of the 7 are healthy and thriving and have outgrown their houses. The simple truth is that those 6 groups cannot keep up this pace...and will not be forced to set quota artifically low just for the 1 group who struggles year in & year out. Bringing on another group could actually generate new interest in Greek Life at USM and HELP this struggling group improve. But, regardless, the truth of the matter is that Southern Miss IS currently open for expansion.
