The ZTA website hasn't been updated since 1974 (joke) so some of these listings could be wrong. There were a few chapters listed on our site as active that have gone inactive in the last 5 years. I tried to include the ones I remember going inactive on this list but I may have missed a few. ZTAs- Feel free to correct any wrong information. Hopefully, when our new site is done this summer or fall, the listings will be accurate! :)

Wake Forest
BG -
Were the fraternities always local? Was WF a men's college previously and then the women were admitted in smaller numbers so they started the societies instead of just going w/ national sororities from the start? Sorry for my hijack, I'm just fascinated with things like this. |

One thing that has always amazed me is the sheer number of chapters that Delta Zeta has had! Just looking at the list, it seems that there are more closed chapters than some sororities ever had!!! Is there a reason behind that? And if it's none of my business, please say so!

Not sure about the local fraternity thing--the fraternities were always around, I think they were always national. My uncle tells funny stories about it. |
I think that when you talk about closed chapters it is important to look at not just which chapters an organization has closed over time but also which chapters they have closed in recent years so you can see how strong or stable their membership programs are. My sorority tracks chapter closings and one of my friends provided me with this list of each organization’s closings since 2000.

My only comment...I'm not sure these closures speak only to membership programs. It's never that simple. |

The Chi Omega chapter at Alabama-Huntsville closed, not the University of "Roll Tide" Alabama. |

Kappa Alpha Theta also closed at The University of South Carolina in 2001.

To the best of my knowledge, the AEPhi chapter at NYU is still active.

I agree with NutBrnHair in that there are a variety of reasons that chapters close. It is silly to imply that these closing are the “end all, be all” testament to organization strength and stability. DZ, for example, closed their chapter at Santa Clara because the university withdrew recognition of Greeks. DZ, from what the DZs on here have said, does not operate on a campus without university recognition.
I also have one correction. AOII never had a colony at Mississippi State. We ceased efforts before it got to that point. We did not find enough qualified women to fill a competitive size chapter. Further, we didn’t want to put those we did select into a game of perpetual catch-up. Quote:

Also, I like AOII's policy about not putting a colony into perpetual catch up! |
I think it's an interesting statistic to track but, as pointed out, what it says about the organization is open to interpretation. Obviously a sorority with 200 chapters has more "wiggle room" to be closing a chapter a year than a sorority with 50 chapters. And the lack of concrete factors in deciding when to close a chapter is a big thing that varies widely between sororities -- on my campus, for example, XYZ HQ might decide to close one group when it gets below 50 members, whereas ABC wouldn't close their chapter until it gets to 20 girls. Kappa's accomplishment of not closing any chapters since 2000 is impressive -- but to put it in context, there was a poster here whose Kappa chapter went down to four members in recent years. Many other sorority HQs might have closed that chapter before they had a chance to prove themselves. Kappa did not, and the four-person chapter had a great rush that year and is now 3-4 times larger than it was. Either way it reflects highly on Kappa, but the lack of closed chapters can mean a number of totally different things.
Some sororities might be more likely to keep "sub-par" chapters open, or below-average chapters at certain schools (Ivy League and their ilk, SEC). And like aopirose pointed out, there are totally random factors that can lead to chapters closing too. Plus I'm not sure the number of closed chapters matters all that much (as long as you have a viable number that are kept open) -- what matters more is the number of weak chapters that are NOT closed for whatever reason, which is obviously much harder to judge, and count, than the number of closed chapters. |
SuthernBell, your friend needs to double check her facts. The Washington State Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi is NOT closed - I just called to confirm this.

I would think the most frequent reason chapters get closed is finances. If a chapter has a morgage on a house, and can't recruit enough members to pay their monthly bills, the chapter has to close unless someone comes up with a lot of cash fast. You can keep really small chapters open if they don't have to pay any bills!

Re the stability of membership programs, I know that there are chapters of ours (and everyone else has them too) with such long established histories and cemented reputations that the pledge program could consist of washing a yak daily for 6 weeks and they would still pledge quota and be over total. :)

Fun Fact: The WSU chapter is a single letter chapter (Upsilon) and it was chartered when ADPi was known as Alpha Delta Phi!!! In fact, the old ADPhi crest is prominent in the house and ADPhi letters on a historic pin exhibit in the house. There's a lot of history there :) The Upsilon chapter was originally a local sorority, and some of those historic pins are on display, too. :) If you're ever in Pullman, check it out! |

AOP (5) DePauw Illinois Wesleyan Syracuse Purdue Southwest Texas State +1 colony (Mississippi State) Well techincally, the AOII colony never even existed. They barely had an interest group at Mississippi State going because of the lack of interest in a new sorority. (Don't get me wrong the Panhellenic was supportive and so were two groups in particular, KD and Sigma Chi, however I would even call it a colony. Just my thoughts. |
