I was surprised to when i learned the history of Theta on our campus. They had been very good, winning a ton of awards, always at total, then i guess they had a couple bad rushes and it just all went down. When i rushed in Fall of 99, they only had like 6 sisters (one of which was a middle aged woman....we never knew if she was an alum or a sister. She rushed us so i guess it was a sister. Very uncommon for our greek system), and had other chapters from nearby helping them. They only preffed one girl and went defunct from there.
I think the sororities at Pitt go through cycles as far as their strength and numbers. When I rushed in 1985, there were less than 10 Kappa Alpha Thetas. They were considered one of the weaker houses. Then in, I believe, 1988, they recolonized and sent in some incredible rushers to choose the new group of sisters. From then on, they just got stronger and stronger, more visible on campus, etc. I am surprised they went defunct due to numbers.
