All true, but...

Poster Message:
Selectivity does not equal exclusivity. Every house has " standards" and " criteria" ( most completely subjective I would add), that does not mean there should not be a place for those who have the academic, philanthropic, and activity focused drive to participate and find a fit sonewhere. Yes, there will always be disappointment inherent in the process, but as the poster above makes the point, there are ways to improve it. Other campus Panhels set totals for chapters so that they do not become overwhelming large. In addition, these houses need to allow, encourage, even require senior live-outs. Thirdly, national chapters, and national panhel need to be involved and supportive about leveling the playing field. Lastly, there are only 26 national chapters in total. One ( the largest) is very resistant to returning and thr remaining four may not have the required financial support needed to establish on a campus the size of IU. Adding additionsl chapters will not solve the problem-- it is incumbent upon IU Panhellenic and the individual and national chapters to be willing to let the system continue to evolve.
