Why are there only 11 Sororities here?

I’m sure the poster understands what SEC is. I believe the purpose was to indicate that SEC schools normally have a large Greek presence. Maybe you didn’t know that because you don’t go to an SEC school? Or you were just trying to be rude and unhelpful. (If that was your goal then congrats! You did it!)

To the original poster, it doesn’t make sense to me, either. Being an SEC school with a large Greek population and freshman classes becoming larger every year you’d think UArk would have more than 11.

Not fact, just my opinion but I don’t think Greek life tries very hard to bring new houses to campus. They LOVE to boast that we have the largest chapters in the country - you will hear this repeatedly once on campus. I mean, having large chapters only means every house has amazing girls so it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Thank you! That makes so much sense, and is the first time I’ve heard a real explanation!

Any thoughts as to which might be the next Sorority?

It would be entirely up to whichever nationals want to be considered to come on here at the time. A general notice of being open for expansion at UA would go to NPC and then any interested nationals would submit information to panhellenic about why they would be a good fit and what they have to offer, then panhellenic would choose three or so to come and present in person and then one would be chosen. Sometimes a sorority is interested in a particular school and vice versa but the timing is bad because the sorority is currently committed to expanding elsewhere. So it's about a sorority's resources at the time and if they are a good fit with the school.

The influencer types are getting to be a bit of a problem at Bama. They go there just to join a sorority for followers. They do nothing, contribute nothing, and cause problems because they don't really care about the house they joined, the other girls in it, or the rules that need to be followed. Then they either get kicked out or drop, even leave the school, and say it's because their house was mean to them. Selfish takers. It's a shame for the houses and a shame for them too. I hope this doesn't become the norm for sororities.

Alpha Phi has a terrible reputation nationally because they recruit solely for looks and don't care about Values Based Recruitment. Just Google Alpha Phi U of Michigan Recruitment. Their National runs their Recruitment for them and ranks all the Sisters and only puts pretty PNMs with Pretty Sisters. They hide girls that they don't consider attractive; wouldn't you be humiliated to be a Sister and realize that you are not considered up to par?

I don’t think theta would want to come here and risk being stuck at the bottom for a decade. As long as Panhellenic requires the top houses to cut the most first round they will always be exclusive to pnm’s
