What's funny is that the current LXA used to be the "old" DTD house, and, more than 15 years ago, was temporarily the LXA house as well...

The "old" LXA house you are referring two was also occupied by the "old" LXA chapter the year before I associated - but, if you know where to look, you can still find autographs in the house in the attic and other areas....

Confused? Welcome to greek life at UNC...where your chapter may move more than twice in a given year!

So, we managed to get ANOTHER house condemned, eh? Well, one legacy from the "old" chapter apparently lives on...:rolleyes:

Through the Vistiage of The Mountains to the West and The Plains of the East Rode the Many who wanted to fight a battle between Greeks and Adms.

The Battle was Fought for many Years and Never won.:(

In our old house there were sigs in the attic from AXiD and SigX, so all us AOII's added our own flair up there! *haha* Now the Delts can. I think Greek Row will need to be renamed. Instead of just being on 10th, the rest of the orgs are all moving over to 8th. I wouldn't be surprised if LXA and KSig end up in one of the two areas soon. ;)

I can only echo Erik's comment. When I became active (not in the traditional Greek sense of pledge, active, alum) in Colorado, I was shocked to be told by an international officer that Delt had absolutely no interest in recolonizing at Colorado. I was even more shocked when alums of the former Beta Kappa Chapter expressed the same feeling.

They had been slapped in the face by the undergrads one too many times.

Thankfully, we have a really committed advisor at Northern Colorado, a two term Chapter Consultant as advisor at Colorado State and a top notch Division Vice President for the two chapters.

While things can change quickly, I was pleased that our chapter at CSU was not one of the ones recently in trouble and that our UNC chapter has topped 50 members -- larger than it has ever been. The downside is that the UNC chapter is no longer winning as many international awards as they did a few years ago.

In the end, though, alumni support can only go so far. Advisors often don't live in the same towns at their chapters. They simply can't have a handle on everything that goes on.

It's up to the active chapter members to do the right thing.

DTD alum,

You are right! It is up to the chapter members ultimately to do the right thing. My dad and GF were both alums of the house in Boulder that you are referring to. Those members were hand-held for years, to great expense, as they trashed the house AND the reputation of DTD on that campus and community. I can totally understand the sad fact of the reluctnce of the nationals and alums who have had enough. I don't know what the answer is!?!?:( :confused:

Wait, what about Phi Betes? I don't know if i should be offended or just plain confused!:confused:

"While revivals seem to be outnumbering the closures (finally) it
ought to occur to some Phi Betes that there's merit in being a Greek. Fifty years ago I thought so, and I have not abandoned it"

what exactly are you saying about Phi Betes?

Don't know if he's talking about you guys or Phi Beta Kappa.

It's even sadder that the current President at C.U. is a Beta Kappa Chapter Delt.

Which would actually make MUCH more sense! LOL.....we were all a bit confuzzled over that one.......didn't know another sorority referred to themselves as Phi Betes...
