The same thought has been ocurring to me.

Gamma Phi has been the "newest" chapter at Alabama for the past 20 years, which we're told over and over on this board is a weakness in the Ole South. So I think it's interesting that the tune has suddenly changed for a chapter that isn't even there yet (certainly no offense to Alpha Phi, I just think it's silly that any negative stigma should be attached to a chapter because it's the newest...especially after 20 years of being "new"). I'm wishing Alpha Phi all the best, I just want our Gamma Phis to receive the same support from the Alabama community, which it doesn't seem they're getting.

ETA: I'm also concerned that once Alpha Phi is established, it will suffer the same fate as Gamma Phi.
