unhoused chapters

I dunno - the ones at the larger schools seem pretty solid to me. They aren't going anywhere or at risk of getting kicked off at UF, Maryland, Miami, Michigan.

I'm not saying DPhiE is a national powerhouse but they seem to be more solid than TPA, ASA and other nationals like AST which don't really have any strong chapters at big universities.

Top chapter is at Kennesaw State University in suburban Atlanta. That used to not be saying a lot because KSU was a commuter school for years, but over the last decade its growth has exploded and the Greek system has grown with the school. Last year KSU absorbed another entire school, Southern Polytechnic State University, along with its Greek system.

The UGA chapter only recolonized because DPhiE nationals made a deal with the school to return instead of going through the extension process. If they had had to apply for consideration, they probably never would have been invited back.

How are you such an expert on DPhiE's UGA and KSU chapters?

Either you're a crazy DPhiE, or more likely, you're a loser SK alum who has no life and spends all her time researching DPhiE chapters that have nothing to do with IU so that she can make SK look better. So which is it?

Someone here seems to know all about their chapters, including how many members dropped during the initial colonization at UGA. Can we say drama queen?

Oh and this is also directed at the person named 'DPhiE's but I also don't get what your problem is. Do you want DPhiE, along with any other "weak" national to just go away and die off? Well that's going to bring the whole next level of NPCs down a notch, including SK so you should probably cheer on DPhiE, TPA, ASA and any other smaller national NPC org.

I can tell you this: I rushed at IU and didn't a crap about how many chapters/colonies my org had. I found an awesome home with sisters who are my family and that's what I care about.

Just go away and leave all the IU sororities alone.

Just stop, you're obviously a disgruntled DPhiE because you are waaaay too invested in this ish with all your repetitive posts. The more you post the more attention you're drawing to your sorority and the worse it's making you look. Quit trying to blame specific sorority members for things because you have no idea who is doing it. If for some reason you're just a really unstable person who isn't a DPhiE, you should still stop because it's making them look bad which is the last thing they need right now.

What makes you think I am a DPhiE? Not a DPhiE but I am a member of an un-named sorority at IU.

I am tired of this trollish crap.

You are way too personally involved in this if it doesn't involve your sorority. I agree you need to stop because whoever you are you are not helping DPhiE at all. You are making them look bad.

Their house at UF is bottom tier and they lost their house at FSU. I'm sure they're strong at some places in the south but it goes to show you that houses vary at each campus and you can't compare.

DPhiE is #1 at Miami, along with DG. Again, completely varies. That's why a lot of chapters have to vote you in for affiliation when you transfer.

It may be new now but it's a recolonization. They closed a couple of years prior due to low numbers. It isn't a strong chapter.

Yeah you lose a couple of members but not 25% of your colony before initiation.

A stronger national has more resources to commit to supporting their active and alum groups.

Also once you graduate, a larger stronger sorority gives you a much bigger network for both your social and career lives. With a stronger national sorority, you're more likely to find an alum group no matter where you move to.

You're the ones trying to make SK look bad, because you're scared of some competition. I am in a chapter with a house and happy that another chapter is coming to campus. I hope we get all 26 sometime in the future.

Keep proving my point and coming on here and disliking everyone's post who dares say anything negative about SK.

There are people like me who are tired of your obsession with SK. I don't care what your affiliation is, DPhiE or whatever. You're just an obsessed bully.

You pretend to want all 26 chapters but for that to happen ALL chapters have to be successful. So coming on here to disresoect ANY chapter will not lead to that goal. Adults don't have to prove somebody wrong to be right. Let it die and grow up.

That person never said that. You're being ridiculous.

Personally I don't think we should have every sorority. I think we've expanded way too aggressively especially with the addition of so many smaller sororities that won't be able to survive the hit when numbers take a dive like they have in the past. It's all very cyclical. IU should have concentrated in building up the chapters it already had by making us do recruitment like every other damned school in the country.

Keep recruitment the way it is, bring the rest of the sororities here and basically have two Greek systems, one housed and one unhoused (fraternities and sororities). I know it sounds kind of crazy but there are enough students here to make it work, and probably enough students who either don't care or don't want to live in a house.

Why would they not? Since there isn't a regular quota and total here, it's not like a sorority who is recruiting poorly will throw off the retention numbers. And even if they did, that isn't a reason to not let a sorority do formal rush. DPhiE would have a legal case if Panhel did that.
