Yes, but, if you read the back of the book you'll see why some chapters closed down. It didn't always have something to do with low numbers. Some were closed down so we could join the NPC (schools-in general...not just Florida)..I've also noticed a trend in that section of the book. Some things say we closed down because of campus climate (the Depression or Vietnam era), others for lack of numbers but, some it doesn't give a reason...I'm wondering if the ones it doesn't give a reason for are because the charter was pulled due to "hazing"....
I know that Widener in Pennsylvania had its charter pulled for "hazing" and I even read about some of the stuff they did in the book "Pledged"....I also came across a story on line about a girl who was hazed at Widener by our organization. Maybe we are hesitant to say it was due to "hazing" in the book because it looks like we have no class. Not sure. Maybe someone can shed some light on this...
