"Dormant" is a better word. "Closed" sounds like something went wrong for the chapter, not that the college merged with a university.

Of the charters that could be considered "Merged", the ones at SLU & Parks College/SLU were the only one that I know both chapters were active at the time of the Merger. The Merging of the active did *not* go smoothly. (The chapter at SLU was co-ed, the chapter at Parks College/SLU was all-male).

But there really is no difference in the status of the charter than if Parks College had simply been closed with no effort to merge the campuses.

But the problem people are having is lumping schools that actually closed and schools that merged with other schools under the same "closed school" umbrella. Based on the title and the OP at least, this thread is about closed schools, not closed chapters. It's just plain confusing to conflate closures of schools and mergers of schools. A school that merged with another school isn't closed, even if that merger resulted in one chapter going dormant, likely forever.

Lambuth
 

I was president of my sorority when Lambuth closed. We all became alums together. Overall it was a very sad process, honestly. Lambuth had been operating in debt for a long while and finally realized that the debt was growing too quickly to overcome, so they really had no choice but to close. None of our girls affiliated with another chapter, but I know some girls from other organizations joined new chapters. Lambuth did offer summer classes until they closed so all of our seniors, some of our juniors, and even two of our sophomores who were ahead on credit hours were able to graduate.

It was so sad when Lambuth closed. I'm sorry that both your school and chapter are closed.

It seemed to happen with very little notice, too.

Hasn't the campus now become a satellite campus to University of Memphis or am I dreaming that? I have some friends who were connected with Lambuth and indeed it was very sad for all concerned.

Yes, it is now known as University of Memphis-Lambuth.
