So, why didn't ADPi make it in Evanston while Lambda Chi did?

I didn't see it mentioned (but I may have missed it) but I thought it was great that the dormant groups rose like cream to the top of the selection process (all three are dormant). I know that at least 8 groups submitted materials to be considered and only half were dormant and for good reason, these dormant groups all have a wonderful chance to re-establish their sisterhoods at NU. Best of luck to all.

I'm not sure which alumnae chapter is closest to Northwestern, but ZTA has 12 Alumane Chapters in the state of Illinois, 4 in the Chicago area. While it's true we have many southern chapters, we have chapters all over the country. So please don't say we're better suited in one area. My small northern chapter had fabulous alumnae from big schools & smaller schools and it was a great match. We were happy to have local support. Zeta is continuing select girls to be Traveling Leadership Consultants from all different sized chapters and locations. I realize that our image may be one way but I just would like to point out another side.

Northwestern has 7 dormant chapters:
AGD 1995
ADP 2006
AEF 1988
AXD 1972
AOP 1973

Many from the "icky" years - late 60s - early 70s!

I know you've all been waiting in suspense, so I thought I would share today's announcement. The extension process at Northwestern was concluded yesterday with the selection and approval of Zeta Tau Alpha.
