now what?
by: Me
Are so of our chapters at total now or does variable quota continue?
How far apart are the chapter memberships now with this last recruitment?

The University knows that it needs to impose change on rush and who is allowed to rush. They won't do it. They want to be all squishy and inclusive and everybody gets to rush and have a chance to be a sorority girl.
Now more & more girls are going to be dropped from rush which will cause a PR problem for the University. Then fewer students apply to go to school there. Just wait and see.... Running Theta off campus will have a bigger impact than you realize.

What do you mean about the university should not be inclusive for every girl to rush? I thought that was the idea. Explain what criteria they should impose for qualifying to rush.

It means that a sorority cannot go over a certain number of members regardless of what quota might have been set at in formal rush. NPC and the sororities’ nationals will never be in favor of it.

I doubt anyone at a sorority HQ or NPC will approve artificially capping quota because of what a cluster it was at Indiana for so long. Even though the situations are vastly different, I doubt a cap will pass. We already have basically a cap with variable quota, and houses are still not even numbers-wise.
Also a university Panhellenic can’t impose a gpa minimum. It’s an NPC unanimous agreement.

I would be impressed if Greek Life/ Panhellenic could come forward in coming weeks and clarify what will happen going forward. There's no way our chapters won't be getting bigger to make up for one less chapter on campus.
I wish as a campus we could accept differences in Greek life and be accommodating of personal preference. Not all of us want the same things (in general in life!) or have the same experiences at houses. There should be enough houses that fit different personality types and we should stop approaching rush as this referendum on whether everyone likes the same houses. It's best when PNMs want different things and feel comfortable picking from different houses, rather than being shamed if they like one house that another girl doesn't see as her perfect fit. I know I'm preaching to the choir on this thread.
We also often advise PNMs that even if they wind up in a house they are less than psyched about to give it a fair try and see if it grows on them. Often those new members end up happy and content to stay in a house that might not have been on their radar at first; some girls de-pledge and that is fine too. What this shows is that a lot of us could be happy in different sororities and as a greek system we should keep that in mind before bad-mouthing other houses. We're more similar than not and whatever differences there are make our community richer.
Thanks for reading my novel. I've just had a lot of thoughts over the last week.
