new sorority (not sk)

Nope. Just a regular sorority not affiliated with Panhellenic. Looked them up on google and it looks like two of their chapters have recently been taken over by kappa and KD at other schools

When KKG took over the KBG chapter they were shady in many respects toward the KBG Nationals, but that's water under the bridge unless an NPC group here is looking to merge into KBG in a similar shady manner.

Yes. Fraternities do it all the time. The multi-step extension process that was used to bring DG, APhi etc is mandated by NPC, not by the school.

If thats a long shot for you, you need help

They've literally poached girls from both of those sororities, maybe they'll be better

ADX and AOE they might be able to surpass, but SDT is a national panhellenic organization with a house and I just don’t see it happening. SDT has panhellenic support wheras KBG will never in a million years see that support.

They're still a national organization with 20+ chapters, not a local. Apparently they've been trying to build up enough of a presence to petition to successfully join the NPC, so we'll see.

Yeah that will work well since their colonies close within a couple of years. Just look at their chapter history on their website. It's tragic and hilarious.

They could still pledge an NPC group.

You have to have a minimum number of chapters to petition to join the NPC...I believe it's 50. They have a ways to go.

Maybe if the whole Panhellenic community came together and actually supported each other... including supporting SDT, then sororities like KBG wouldn't be able to poach girls.

Instead, all y'all do is tear each other down.

I’m gonna have to disagree with you there

It’s UGC at Alabama, because that’s where all the independent organizations go. Nationally they have no umbrella org.

You are a non-Greek troll. You can try and try to fake it but it's too obvious. Only a troll would say that, in just that way.

Uh huh

Yeah they don't seem very stable or legit.

their website also looks really poorly made. Like a chapter's Wix site, not the website for a national organization. I think Alabama is too big of a school with too specific of a greek presence to try to colonize a chapter like this without serious support.

Haha so y'all's plan is to pick up the rejects at big schools then watch those chapters wither and crash and burn like they have at every other school you start at. Stop embarrassing yourselves on here.

so is this post from someone apparently affiliated with their nationals/colonization process supposed to compel PNMs to join them? Because all it tells me is that they have representatives of their sorority openly trolling GreekRank to talk about their chapter. Not a good look.

And I think the concerns people pose here are valid. Alabama is known for its strong Greek life, with big houses and huge alum presence, and KBG doesn't offer that, especially with a lackluster website and frequent chapter overturn. It's also a red flag that their (your?) chapter at WF essentially absorbed Pi Phi who were, if I recall correctly, shut down for hazing and excessive drinking, and their reputation doesn't seem to have changed. That's the concern with an uninvolved/unsupportive national body - if there isn't active and sustained involvement, there can be hazing. I would be more supportive of KBG if I saw the national organization addressing these issues and supporting the chapters they already have, instead of letting them get shut down left and right, only to pop up at a new campus. Maybe come on as a panhel-affiliate to alleviate the hazing concern, too.

Also y'all aren't picking schools in Canada with big Greek life to colonize. It's easy to colonize at schools like the University of Lethbridge where there's basically no Greek life (and no NPCs) compared to UBC which has Greek life that's comparable to a US school.

A similar situation on the fraternity side: a few years ago, a small, mostly unknown (outside the South) frat called Phi Mu Delta colonized but then pulled out before they were installed because they knew it was going to be an uphill battle for them to succeed.
