No one in the area was interested. We helped the chapter improve numbers, grades, involvement - you name it! I had to drop out upon the birth of my first child. My mother continued - until a local alumna pulled some strings, and my mother, after 3 years of dedicated service, was essentially fired. Oh - and the local alum? Quit in the middle of her first formal rush. The chapter quickly spirialed downhill and closed- and it was so unnecessary.

Wow, That is sad..... From what I have been told by their members, it is nothing like that. She kind-of just comes when she pleases and really messes things up. Their house mom is AMAZING though. Seriously, a great person. I would really like things to work out. Apparently, this has happened in the past for many other chapters on my campus. All the chapters currently at my school are very strong (good pan-hel management and university relations with sororities).
