has anyone noticed

They have a sordid history at this school. They came and went and came and went because they couldn't sustain a chapter here. The reality is that they are no different from any other sorority that might have colonized here two years ago. And that's a lot different than one house getting caught drinking during Greek Week (unlike all the other houses that drank but didn't get caught) or a house having been caught hazing (which is public knowledge on the Panhel website) and paying the penalty. Let's be honest. SK is pretending it has a rich and successful history at this school and IT DOESN"T.

I don't think putting the actual date they came to Mizzou is pretending. Get over yourself. I'm not saying they aren't bottom tier

If a PNM can't figure out for themselves that the house is the newest on campus then they shouldn't be rushing. It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that they are new. All you have to do is ask the girl standing next to you. People talk. We all already know. No need to go berserk on here just because omg you have to call them out for lying. It's not a big deal what something on a website says. We already know.

Sordid history? You make it sound like they got caught murdering someone or something. They were here and left along with a lot of other houses like AOII, AGD and several other houses when Greek Life in general on this campus was on the decline and they left the second time because their Nationals were going through upheaval and didn't care about the chapters individually. Neither of those things are SK's fault.

SK does have a rich history at this school. Just because they've left and had to come back does not mean you can wipe away all those years girls pledged SK here. You realize that's what you're doing, right? All those years you're choosing to ignore were full of girls who picked SK as their home away from home, made the best friends of their lives and became a part of something bigger.

I think it's petty what you're doing. SK is back and if your house is threatened by them you should focus on just being better, not tearing them down.

Exactly!! I have a lot of friends in sk and it seems like some of them even like that it's new

It seems the SKs monitor this site like crazy. They show up regularly and in all personas. The reality is that they are the newest house on campus and to say they have been here since 1968 is a lie. Now, SKs can justify it all they want, but right is right and wrong is wrong. They are misrepresenting themselves and if they have just one journalism major in the house she could rewrite that portion in about 4 minutes. "Originally colonizing at the University of Missouri in 1968, the chapter is currently the newest on campus, having recolonized in 2012..." That's how you talk about both your history and your present in just one handy sentence. They intended to misrepresent themselves, but they aren't fooling anyone except gullible PNMs.

different personas lmao you sound ridiculous. almost as if they are different people and/or many different houses

You seem to think just one person objects, but I replied in support of the o.p., so there are at least two of us and probably more. Obviously YOU care, too, so that makes three -- and likely many more -- who care enough to chime in. And do you really believe that no one pledges a house because of its past? Really? That's one of the stupidest things I have ever read. No one knows what will happen going forward, but a house that has a "rich history," as someone said, who has established itself on campus and who has been here in good times and bad is much more likely to be around in the future, unlike SK that seems to come and go on a whim. I chose my house because, among other things, 1) it is beautiful 2) it has a history of success 3) it attracts great girls year after year after year 4) I felt comfortable and wanted. Its past helps make it what it is. And I couldn't be more proud to be a member of a house that has been, and always will be, a pillar of Mizzou's Greek community with a fine and meaningful tradition. SK doesn't have that yet, and it needs to stop pretending it does.

I agree. It takes effort and devotion and commitment and organization and support and all kinds of things to have staying power as a sorority on this campus. Do you want to be in a house that is one of the backbones of the Greek system or one that has been around only a couple of years with spotty support from its national? I know what I chose and my house's history means the world to me.
