The Pi Kappa Alpha chapter at Bowling Green State University(OH) has been closed.

LaneSig, the article says the school “expelled” the chapter and it would never again be allowed back on that campus.

In these situations where there is a death, wouldn’t it wiser for Pike Nationals to be proactive and close it themselves? Or does that increase their legal liability? It just seems that they should have beaten the school to it.

My opinion only: in this case and other cases where a group has been permanently banned from a campus, it is the school that does the banning. The inter/national organization probably hoped to return one day in the future, so did not agree to the permanent ban. They will agree to the closure, but probably did not issue a joint statement with the campus due to the ban.

Congrats to the 10 charter members of Kappa Beta Gamma at Louisiana State University! https://www.instagram.com/p/CNyg60kBKCl/

Sigma Pi at Indiana University has been closed. Closure is due to RMF. Sigma Pi plans to return in 2023.

Our Epsilon Delta chapter at Virginia Wesleyan was re-chartered this past weekend. It was an in person initiation ritual.

Two updates from Cornell University (NY) (both from the school's FSL page) https://scl.cornell.edu/get-involved...raternity-life

Sigma Nu will be colonizing in Fall 2021

Phi Mu will be closing their chapter due to low membership numbers.

The recolonization of Epsilon Psi chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha at Plymouth State University was halted April 14, 2021. The recolonization had begun in January 2020.

That's too bad. I imagine with the pandemic it was just too difficult.

Yes I think that added to the challenges. I was excited about this chapter recolonizing as one of the sisters in my AC I believe she was either an early member or a founding member when this chapter colonized.

All Greek Life at Wesley College will cease as the college is being acquired by Delaware State University.

Given the number of Divine Nine chapters at Wesley, wouldn't they just be folded into the Delaware State University chapters? I don't know how NPHC chapters handle that. It looks like Delta Phi Epsilon is the one NPC chapter - reading the announcement, I don't see where it states that Greek life will cease. Am I looking right at it? I apologize if so.

And now Phi Delta Theta is on cease and desist. Also reported in the Indiana Daily Student.

Delta Sigma Phi recently colonized at the University of North Georgia-Gainesville campus. This is the first NIC organization on campus.
