sigma kappa predications
by: HmmWhat are some general predictions about Sigma Kappa as a new house on campus this year? What will their PC be like?

They will be the bottom house until another new sorority comes along. They will not have a mansion that can compete with our established houses and for the first few years they’ll only get girls dropped by every other house, with the few exceptions of girls wanting to be a part of starting a house that may or may not make it.

How many times has SK failed on this campus? Is this take 3 or take 4? Seriously. I am not sure.

Since both of sigma kappa’s previous times here were before RFM was implemented, it really doesn’t matter. Things are completely different now.

@Irrelevant It is VERY revelant! How is it not? How could you say it is not? Are you a Panhellenic monitor trying to save your rump or an SK rep? Lol

Nope, just an active who has been on my house’s recruitment team the past two years. I really love recruitment and I know a lot about RFM. Obviously pre 2000s we used a completely different method of rush and it was extremely easy for struggling houses to close because PNMs could decline invitations. I don’t think sigma kappa can really be judged for what happened before RFM came along. I went to their presentation with some other girls in my house and they had a whole section of alumnae there, so if anything I think previously being on campus will help them.
I’m curious why you think it matters so much? What’s the big deal?

My prediction comes backed with years of working with RFM on my chapter’s recruitment team and helping my chapter colonize at a different school.
SK’s new PC will likely have a preponderance of upperclassmen because their HQ will want to establish leadership in the chapter right away. They’ll want girls who are already highly involved on campus so they can go recruit other unaffiliated girls. They will certainly take a spring PC. In terms of their freshmen, there will likely be a group of girls who thought they weren’t a good fit for the chapters they had left from formal recruitment (interpret that how you want) and they’ll drop out to try for SK. There will also be girls released from recruitment or who never considered formal recruitment who go for SK because their style of recruitment will be more laid back.
For the next few semesters, they’ll likely get dragged on here for being “new” on a campus that values tradition. Some chapters might see them as a threat (if PNMs would rather try a chapter with no reputation over one with a bad reputation) or they’ll welcome them because they’ll see what a great and unique addition they make. Hopefully the PC they take is full of classy girls who don’t try to self-rank like some colonies at other schools but find the balance between fitting in and being themselves. It’ll take a while to develop that identity.
And for anyone fearmongering on here saying they’ll fail, please cite the last failed sorority colony at a school with a Greek system as large as Alabama. No one makes an investment this large without a guarantee of financial success. And, as people have stated before, RFM was invented to make sure that what happened in the 70s, 80s, and 90s doesn’t happen again.

So now we have whoever they are bashing SK. I'd take SK in a heartbeat and would rather not be in a sorority at all over whatever this new group is that no one has ever heard of. Well-established national sororities are the only way to go. National presence and size, history and tradition, and amazing alumnae affiliations everywhere. Only NPC and NPHC sororities offer all that.
