Yep. They reorganized my freshman year. They had closed only the semester before. IMHO, it wasn't enough time to squash the rumors and reputation. I knew about their reputation before I even stepped foot on the UCF campus, and I know I wasn't the only one. Also, four sororities colonized within a five year period of DG's reorganization and girls wanted to join chapters that had a "blank slate" rather than one that had preconceived notions. Their reorganization was pretty successful but the chapter started faltering soon after that. During formal recruitment that fall, they missed quota by a lot. Unfortunately, they were never able to overcome old misconceptions and they closed only a few years after the reorganization.
