Brief excerpts from article:
The Duke chapter of Theta Chi fraternity is disaffiliating from its national organization and from the Interfraternity Council, Theta Chi President Collin Jones, a junior, confirmed Tuesday night. . . .
Jones explained that by disaffiliating, Theta Chi is making a move that other fraternities may also be considering. . . .
Theta Chi-which will change its name within the next few days-will retain the same goals, functions and social events, but have more freedom, Jones said.
He added that the University administration will have very little control over the fraternity and members will not have to pay national dues.
. . . Jones said though the fraternity's recruitment has been good in recent years, he expects it will increase significantly after the fraternity has disaffiliated. . . .
. . . Eta Prime fraternity-formerly known as Kappa Sigma-is currently the only other disaffiliated, off-campus fraternity at Duke. It disaffiliated from its national organization in 2002. . . .
