It is aways sad to see one of us go. It is not our decession, it is theirs.

I wish there would be more updates on Colonies and Zetas about who is coming and who is gone.
Tom, I disagree that it is always a choice. Alaska was a non-starter from the beginning. Good guys, but a commuter school with virtually no greek or on-campus life and a location too far away from anywhere else or anybody else. Those guys were dancing as fast as they could but the conditions just were not there for a successful chapter.

Other chapters are closed because of a change in University policy; I recall one up north, perhaps in Maine, that closed in response to a school dictate that they go coed. Clearly not a 'decision' of the undergrads in that case.

It isn't always a case of chapter culpability.
