Truthfully....I'm sure the chapters closed due to numbers. This happens all over the country. Unless you have a Panhellenic that is willing to support and help to COB or recruit or help with PR, the chapters may get low numbers and if it's a trend for 5 years or so...and they can't change it...closing a chapter is sometimes the best route. I'm not condoning it....I hate closing chapters. I even worked for Tri Delta and closed 2 chapters for them, and it sucked.
Through my mumbling, I have a point. New chapters sometimes bring a breath of fresh air. As long as their intent is not to overthrow a dying chapter it can be good.
My point: For those of you who have dying chapters on campus due to low numbers? Help them before you become them! That's my message for tonight.
