33girl - one daughter is currently at Clemson and part of the Theta chapter there; my older daughter graduated from Ole Miss and while she was not a Theta she had MANY friends in that chapter. As for finances, Clemson was awarded a financially-based award at the national convention. They were in the black, operating fine both servicewise and socially. My Theta and her sisters are devastated. Definitely a bait-and-switch and focused on the numbers reflected poorly on Theta Nationals; they were told they had a 'bad reputation'. My oldest told me the girls at Ole Miss had been treated poorly by Nationals for several years (e.g. you need prettier girls etc.) That also disgusts me.
My daughter is a sophomore who joined last year; for the new members just initiated this is outrageous.
This challenge will make them stronger but they should have been given a plan by this 'Grand Council', should have been led by them, given KPIs to meet and then consequences if they didn't.
I believe I stated above they were at 140-150 members in each report on the Clemson greek life site for the past 8 YEARS! Why now? And why no serious chance to work together with Nationals. No way they can claim they wanted Delta Phi to succeed.
