We didn't make quota, which other GLO's did during formal fall rush. In 1991 a decision was reached to de-activate the chapter. I cannot begin to put into words how this broke my heart. I never had a little sister, a candlelight, held an Executive Position, and missed several other experiences that other collegiates had. In 1991 there was an agreement between ZTA and UK that once another sorority on campus (PM me to learn which one) had successfully met quota during 3 consecutive formal fall rushes, then ZTA was to be considered for recolonization. Guess what? This other chapter also left UK, and to the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been any additional discussion about re-activating the Alpha Chi chapter.
I would like to see us recolonize at UK, hopefully it will happen when the time is right, Zeta will have the support of other GLO's, and we will have our house back.

As someone whose chapter at another SEC school was closed under similar circumstances, I know how you feel.
However, I have to believe that IO holds ZTA's best interests at heart. And, as much as I can selfishly wish that we could successfully come back, I know that it is not in the best interest of ZTA as a whole.
