I think what a lot of what I said was taken the wrong way. I would like to start off by saying that my view is not necessarly the same as that of those who were members of this chapter. This is just how I feel about the situation. I have no proof whatsoever on the "Exact" reason why this charter was pulled. I know that there is still confusion going around. I sit on the Inter-Greek council and there is not too much that goes on in our greek system that I don't know about. I do know there are still some questions left unanswered. The thing that bothers me is that this was a very young chapter on campus, they chartered in the late 90's. All of the other sorotities on campus have been here well over 40 years and being young it's hard starting out and I saw little help from the national organization. I am not a member of this chapter so I really have no concrete evidence of that, I'm just speaking on what I saw. My chapter is one of the strongest in the country and they help us out soooooo much. That's one thing that bothers me is that a lot of organizations just focus on the better chapters, when these chapters that are struggling don't get as much attention. They are like republicans. Help the rich, screw the poor. I am convinced that many organizations just kind of ignore their weakeer chapters so they can remove them. I know that there was no fore warning with this chapter closing. It was something that looked like a possibility if things didn't improve, but at least a few years away at the soonest. I am not a member of this chapter (obviously) and am not really close with too many people in this house so it's not like I'm just trying to say "My friends got screwed". I am just saying that I watched this whole situation unfold and it somewhat bothered me. I think the whole situation was handled poorly.
