Please do not believe everything you hear. National KD did not "pull" any of her charters this year, in fact National KD doesn't do so. It is up to the chapter to vote and decide if they can sustain at the campus.
What I understand is that the school in question has lost not only KD, maybe the campus cannot sustain more NPC groups, it may be up to the limit with the amount of Greeks on campus currently.
KD has 482 alumnae associations that are very active with chapter assistaince. I have just gotten back from Convention and we learned just how much we depend on our alumnae. We have some of the most dedicated ladies I have ever seen, I was amazed and taken aback by our council and other national officers!
I sit as President on my chapter's House Corp and President of my area's alumnae association. KD feels very strongly about being a KD for life! We have 124 chapters who recive alumae support which comes in MANY forms, from money, foundation donations, or actual events sponsored by the alumnae.
My chapter is currently looking for housing, how exactly would that happen without alum? I do think it is strange that many active members do not realize what an asset it is to have active alumnae, they don't realize the role of alum in an organization.
I feel that no national organization could survive without alum support and no alum should just walk away and never give back to an organization that gave so much to them.
