TrojanGirl, I've forgotten what school you attend. Which one is it? Oh, I hate to hear about one of our chapters closing. Thank goodness it doesn't happen frequently. You might want to check into whether your area has a strong alum club. If it does, then you might want to go ahead and go alum. Sometimes, a group takes a few years to rest and then recolonizes. You could help with that. If this had happened to me, I think I would have been so soured on Greek life, I couldn't bear going through rush again. Also, keep in mind that some girls ask to go alum as upperclasswomen. They want to stay Pi Phis, but they don't have the time to contribute to the chapter, what with internships, jobs, etc. If it were me, I'd go alum, but I can't tell you what to do. I'd love to welcome you as a fully initiated sister. Remember, Pi Phi has alum chapters all over the country (and Canada). If you think you might move after graduation, that might be another reason to go alum. You still could get involved with collegiate chapters. After all, you will spend most of your life as an alum, but only four years as an active. I guess I tend to look at the big picture in most situations.
