University of Mississippi Zeta?
 

Hey yall, I am just curious if anyone knows the status of Zeta at Ole Miss. I know they closed in the late 90's due to numbers(correct me if I'm wrong) but I have heard rumors that they might be back in Spring 2005? I think Ole Miss definatley needs Zeta!!

Although I would be ecstatic if ZTA came back to Ole Miss, I think the rumors that you've heard are, well, just rumors. ZTA's Gamma Delta chapter closed back in 1999 due to numbers. There's been a few threads in the Greek Life forum on Ole Miss sororities. The overall consensus is that Ole Miss is a very unforgiving place for chapters that have 'failed'. If ZTA does come back, I would imagine that it would be years down the road rather than a little over 5 years later.
If the rumors are true, I hope ZTA does some major PR before recolonizing the chapter so that the perceived image is changed!

I'm sure that Tippiechick could probably give a better response than me since she's an alum from that chapter.

Yea, I know a little about greek life@ Ole Miss. My boyfriend is in a fraternity there. I'm not positive about Ole Miss being unforgiving. The fraternity my boyfriend is a part of was kicked off in the late 90's ( around when Zeta closed) and is back and decently strong. I would just love to see Zeta back at Ole Miss. It just seems weird going to football games and not seeing Zeta stuff like at my school.

This thread here might be of interest to you: http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showth...threadid=40544

It's a lengthy discussion of the Ole Miss culture and what it would take for a new group to colonize/recolonize on campus.

I definitely think that a ZTA colonization at Ole Miss could be done but it would take a lot of work! I do hope it happens one day, though.
