I suspect that this thing is a rumor.

However, as time passes Greek Letter Organizations are being hit with much higher expenses. Risk Management is a much bigger issue. Lawsuits are rampant. Numbers are a problem in some locations.

It would not surprize me at all to see a national organization (or more than one) give up and close in the next few years. I would be VERY surprized if the first is a sorority, though. The fraternities have much bigger issues -- mostly due to alcohol/risk management problems.

I think it would be a very daunting task to form a new national at this point in time.
