Judging from the closing dates, 1943 and 1973 its not too difficult to figure out. 1943 was in the midst of WWII and 1973 when conformity was looked down upon. What I think would be more interesting is how the other chapters on campus survived these time periods. Were they in a dire of a position also? How did they make it through? Was it a local vs national decision? If there were still active sisters, could the chapter had survived if kept open? Granted, since this was many, many years ago it could be hard to get this information and place it in the context of those time periods. We know that HQ's now never want to close chapters, but was if different then? Especially in the late 1960's and early 1970's when all Greeks lost chapters at (what I consider) an alarming rate.
