AOPiRose--
I'm glad you brought that up. I've heard from pretty reliable sources that our (ADPi) chapter at LSU closed in the 80's because some of the other sororities were trying to get rid of the "alpha" chapters (ADPi, AXO, APhi, etc.). There are no "alpha chapters left today. Is there any truth to this that you know of?
Justamom--
My "aunt-in-law" was a DG at LSU in the 50's or 60's and had a great experience!
AOPiRose-What an interesting observation. What would being an "Alpha" chapter have to do with anything? I don't know much from a historical perspective. I thought I read somewhere that AXO closed around '71 or '72.
I agree with the housing situation. Sorority Row is beautiful and to bring another group to campus would cost a pretty penny. Panhellenic does seem to think they have seen a turn around in interest. Last year they thought rush was huge, this year they said it was the largest in their history. They believe it will be even more difficult to match the majority of the girls next year.
I haven't met too many DG's around here, only the lovely alums who wrote her rec. Everyone says they are or at least were comprised of mainly NO/private school girls. There are tons of NO girls in her pledge class.
