Wake Forest had their local sororities go national in the mid 90s. According to my Demon Deacon alumna friend who was a sister during the 70s of one of the locals, the NPC groups and WF admin promised that the chapters could keep local traditions. According to her, the brouhaha with the WF Chi O chapter in the 2004 timeframe and the Pi Phi chapter last spring is all related to the fact that NPC and WF admin are not allowing the chapters to maintain local traditions.
Admittedly she graduated 3 decades ago so her memory may be hazy on this? And of course if traditions of Fideles and Strings (the now-Chi O and Pi Phi) were debasing to pledges, of course that should NOT be carried over to a now-national chapter.
