I was particularly sad to see Kappa Sigma and SAE get pulled. Kappa Sig, SAE and Lambda Chi were the "big three" for years prior to those two being closed. I was actually the president of IFC when Kappa Sigma was yanked. SAE was removed after I was out of office. We hated to see them go, but all of the chapters that were pulled flat out deserved what they got. I'd want my own chapter shut down if there were deadbeats, drug users or accused rapists as members. While we hated to see our system getting smaller, it was preferable to keeping around an organization that was making everyone else look bad. Keep in mind that much of this was nearly 10 years ago so those people are all long gone from the campus.
I graduated years ago, so I'm not sure how the current situation is. I know Kappa Sigma returned to campus around 2 or 3 years ago. SAE never came back even though they had one of the strongest alumni bases at UTEP. SigEp was always struggling when I was an active, so it was no shock when they vanished. If I'm not mistaken there are only a handful of fraternities left. Honky would know better than me on who is still left and how the current numbers are.
