Obviously I am not an SK, so only SKs would be able to verify that info via their sister directory.
I did a search of the Cornell University Greek Life site and did not find an existing Sigma Kappa chapter there. Still, the reasons why that chapter may or may not have closed is no one else's business but the members of Sigma Kappa.

Yeah, I read the book too, and as I recall the chapter was closed by their National when National found out the chapter initiated a Black female. This information was in Graham's book.
If you go back and read my post you should see my specific point of naming a chapter that initiated a Black woman before 1960 / 1965 that was not closed.
