The 10 Panhellenic sororities voted unanimously to invite three sororities to present their organizations in an effort to become the newest sorority on campus.The Panhellenic extension committee suggested Alpha Phi, Delta Zeta and Gamma Phi Beta as the most qualified sororities to join the university this fall.

“The committee spent three weeks reviewing in-depth applications,” said James Parker, assistant dean of Campus Life.

Eight organizations applied to create chapters at TCU, and the sororities recommended by the committee were considered strongest in three major areas, said Clare Edwards, former Panhellenic president and extension committee representative.

Edwards said internal chapter organization, chapter support and links to TCU were criteria that were vital in making their choices.

Alpha Phi, Delta Zeta and Gamma Phi Beta will visit campus from Feb. 12 to Feb. 26 to give formal presentations for their respective organizations.

The Panhellenic sororities represented on campus will be invited to attend the presentations in their entirety. The 10 existing sororities will receive one vote each for the final vote on Feb. 28, Edwards said.

“The most important thing is that they mesh well with the 10 organizations already established on campus and that they still manage to give women a different option,” said Hannah Munsch, Panhellenic president and member of the extension committee.

Parker also announced that the search for a new assistant dean of fraternity and sorority life is under way.

He said in the next two weeks there will be a presentation and a reception announcing the new assistant dean.
