Near the end of Chi O at CMU
I am an alumnus of Carnegie-Mellon in Pittsburgh, I graduated in 1990. Even by the time that I graduated, Chi Omega was having problems with numbers. I do remember that the other sororities on campus (DG,DDD,KATh & KKG) *really* wanted to help them with numbers. The sorority rush process did take into account that Chi O had more slots open for pledges. When Chi Omega went under they moved one of the Fraternities (Sigma Tau Gamma) into Sorority Row for a year. (Sorority Row is a Duplex and a Triplex over top of a laundry mat/computer cluster/student store area.
From talking to people who were there for a few years after I was, the sisters of the other four sororities were not happy with the Chi O national, but I can't say if that represented anything wrong that Chi O national did in the process.
There are a couple of other sororities that once existed at Carnegie-Mellon, but I think they had only those 5 sororities for about 50 years.
