University of Alabama Greek Life
If anyone is interested you can find U of Alabama's Sorority Growth Charts and Recruitment Stats here on the UA/Greek Life website.
I am not sure which sorority you are referring to zzazbama. I am unaware of any that have closed within the last 5 years. One is no longer participating in formal recruitment and has relinquished their house to the University, but they are still active. Their situation is rather unique and not what I was referring to earlier. As to which GLO's could potentially colonize on campus, there are currently only 15 of the 26 Panhellenic organizations represented.
But as I said earlier, this came out of a casual conversation I had with the Asst Dean of Students. I have no idea when or even if it will happen. All I was told was that Admin is looking at the Recruitment numbers, the current Panhellenic membership numbers, the status of the Greek System as a whole as well as the projected growth rate for the University. Part of the Admin's plan is to significantly grow the University student population over the next 5 years and that plan is already well underway.
Another factor I forgot to mention earlier was that many of the Chapters have grown too large for their current (physical) houses. The fire marshall is starting to have fits. I can only imagine she turns a blind eye during Recruitment. Soon many houses may need to expand (which there really isn't any where to go but up and considering the age of the houses that will be costly) or alternative locations on campus need to be found for things such as Chapter meetings, Initiations, etc.
