QUESTION: Has anybody heard that the Delta Gamma chapter at Indiana State University is closing? I was at a fraternity state-wide event in INDY last weekend, and a friend told me his DG wife had heard it. Then another DG friend in my town said it was true.
But—there’s been no official announcement from their Hdqtrs. and their Instagram is still current as of last spring.

They are over a 70+year-old chapter—very active and loyal alumnae. I had so many wonderful DG friends in college. If it’s accurate it breaks my heart.

I just looked at the Indiana State University Panhellenic IG account, and DG is not listed in the chapters on the header of the page. ��

I've been stunned at the numbers of formerly fabulous chapters who have closed in the last 10 years--the ones who closed due to low membership, not RMF.

Yeah there have been several in the past few years, many historical chapters too :(

Our chapter at Chico State has been suspended for hazing that occurred during spring 2025

Chico St
 

Hasn't Chico State had a lot of risk management issues over the years.

Absolutely. There's been a increase of fraternity suspensions here.
Chico has a "party school" reputation.

Pi Kappa Alpha will be returning to the university of Mississippi in fall 2026 via https://www.instagram.com/p/DNQ1Mrwt...gydDR6ZGhpMQ==

Phi Gamma Delta is returning to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Kappa Sigma at Oklahoma State University has been closed due to RMF. The chapter has been established since 1920.

Three fraternities joining University of Colorado-Boulder this semester:

Lambda Theta Phi
Chi Sigma Tau
Sigma Phi Epsilon

Sigma Chi at UT Austin has been suspended by the national fraternity and the University.

The chapter was closed by our HQ at the end of the '24-'25 school year, so I put it on the previous thread along with the announcement of the Missouri State University Gamma Phi Beta closing.

Sigma Chi UT
 

Second time the chapter has been closed for RMF violations, last time was in 2004. The local group may be attempting to carry on just like the SAE's and KA's did at UT after losing their charter.

LSU
 

Pi Kappa Phi will also be returning to LSU this fall according to Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/DN8aFtFkcAA/

Sigma Chi has been invited to establish at the following campuses in Spring 2026:

Washington University of St. Louis (MO) - reestablishment
Appalachian State University(NC)
Northeastern University(MA)

Did the SAEs and KAs ever come back?

Yes both local groups were eventually rechartered.

Alpha Omicron Pi at Clemson is having their pref round tonight! I am so excited for the charter class.

Lanesig, the only colony you’re missing is Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Michigan this spring.
