You are correct. The same year that ADPi left, so did DPhiE. Sigma Delta Tau and Phi Mu left in the 90s and Zeta Tau Alpha have left in the late 80s. Kappa Delta did a huge recolonization in the 80s which took them from a low of 20 members to total.
Many of the houses are physically large. Ours held 56 (out of 100 in the chapter), so when you back out pledges, those traveling abroad and locals, it basically means everyone has to live in the house. This has been a big problem for several chapters
