let's talk numbers.
by: ReallyLet's be totally serious here. Sigma Kappa is a strong sorority nationally. They will have more support from their nationals to build a house, but it will not be immediate. Anyone here now who is going to be a founding member will not live in it. Now let's talk about those founding members. They will only be taking one pledge class of girls, most of whom will be sophomores and juniors, with some freshmen but not many. You don't get to be a founding member just because you want to be. They will do interviews a lot like rush. There are SO MANY girls that dropped rush just to rush SK who will not end up with bids. If you want a bid, don't overlook dphie. They do have a lot to offer.
Comment#2 by: missing the point
You people above are missing the point of the post. The person is trying to get people to look at DPhiE by saying SK will not have that many spots available for freshmen who dropped so they should look at DPhiE over SK. It's not really about SK. Most colonizations will take about 25% juniors, 35% sophomores, and 40% freshman. You want upperclassmen to be leaders, but you want a lot of freshmen so that you don't have to replace too many members at once. So if they take 150 (I have no idea if they will, it just makes math easier), then then will take around 60 freshmen, 52 sophomores, and approximately 38 juniors or seniors who have more than one semester left before graduation.

They have said in the meeting they were going to try to be around the average chapter size at IU so really it will be almost 200 maybe more considering some women will drop.

I'd doubt 200. Maybe 150. They'd be scraping the bottom of the barrel for 200 and I doubt they want to do that unless they want to take everyone.

They're going to have to take a lot and charge a pretty significant housing fund fee to the women who will never live there.

Hey alum, I posted the original thread and I am not in dphie. I know SK will be fine, my concern is for the PNMs who assume they will get the opportunity to be a founding member when numbers simply aren't in everyone's favor. Dphie DOES have a lot to offer to anyone willing to join the sisterhood. Surely as an alum, you have the wisdom to know that having a house isn't all that matters in a sorority. Please, then, support all PHA chapters as mature PHA women do.

Everyone knows how bad Rush is here but honestly a lot of girls drop only because they think they're above certain chapters, not because they just didn't feel the connection. (Which honestly I can see) If they were good enough for a "better" chapter they'd probably have gotten one.

That's what I find so curious about some if the SK posters. Best case scenario - they get a house built barely before they graduate and they are still at adpi/agd/sdt level, whom these girls thought they were better than so they dropped. Not like they're going to challenge strong established chapters. SK already failed on this campus once and no they are the second coming???

^ Right. Better off than Dphie but they aren't going to challenging the established chapters here.

Who really cares if they challenge the established chapters as long as they make quota and have a good sisterhood? There some established chapters who aren't all they are cracked up to be and living off past rep. And there are some lesser established chapters who have a great sisterhoods and have a lot to offer. Different strokes...

The point was they dropped bc they think they're "better" to join a chapter who will be equivalent at best. Most chapters on campus have a good sisterhood if you give them a try. No one is questioning that.

^ Exactly. No one is saying there is anything wrong with other chapters. What I was saying is I doubt SK wants to be filled with girls that dropped because they think they're above the chapters they had left. Because honestly they usually aren't. If you want to be better than Dphie for instance why take all the girls that would of been in their pledge class if SK didn't exist.
