I actually have the entire list here somewhere including the dates the chapters were open. I'll dig it up here in a bit...

Also, Alpha Xi Delta's Beta Beta chapter was at Washington Univ. from 1929 until 1963.

Yes, it was 1989 (I left in Dec 88). I also believe DG is in our old suite.........

And yes, girls from Theta formed the local that is there now (I am not sure of the name but I've had conversations with one of the women).

When I was there, they had 4 very strong chapters, two pretty strong and us and there were always a ton of women rushing. The 4 strong ones were very alike and the other 3 were quite different from them (but similar to each other). The 4 are still there........... Unfortunately, stereotypes and rumors ran rampant on that campus during that time and small chapters never stood a chance. I would also say it never seemed very Panhellenic to me.......

I know for sure that we moved into the AXO suite when they left (up until our suite was completely redone a few years ago, the panels over our heaters were in the shape of the AXO harps; they were finally replaced with anchors right before my senior year began in 2001--more than 10 years after AXO left campus!). I don't know where the Gamma Phi suite was. I know that Theta was in the original DG suite when we were on campus the 1st time (that suite is now the Greek Life Office if I'm not mistaken)--found that one out from alums who still live in the area (Founders Day is good for random facts like that ;) ).

SmartBlondGPhB: Were the chapters when you were there consist of: PiPhi, Alpha Phi, AEPhi, Kappa, Theta, GPhiB, and AXO?
It's crazy how we were freshman 10 years apart (I entered WU in the Fall of '98) and there's been so much change in those years--you guys had fall recruitment and 7 chapters...I had deferred and 6 (although 5 of them were there from your time). Have you been back to campus at all since you transferred? You probably wouldn't recognize it...they've built 4 new dorms on the 40, Small Group Housing, and at least 3 academic buildings just since my freshman year!

Yes, those were the chapters on campus when I was there.

Our suite was on the 2nd floor on the end. If you are looking at the building, the right end.

I haven't been back, really no reason to.

I was actually a freshman in 1987, initiated in 1988. We had to make grades when I was a pledge in order to be initiated......

Re: Wash U formal recruitment
 

What wonderful news for WashU Greek Life!

I love that they list each chapters accolades for the year: http://glo.wustl.edu/members/accolades.php

I visited our chapter there once and enjoyed the campus and their website - http://restech.wustl.edu/~aphi/
