Look, I don't think ANYONE on this board can know why it really came to this. I haven't seen anything to substantiate that nationals wanted to "make over" the chapter. I think we can safely assume that nationals wanted their numbers up, but since nationals did NOT withdraw the charter, it was NOT national's decision to close them - it was the active sisters' decision. Like someone else pointed out, yes they were smaller than campus average, but non non-functioning small.

For whatever reason, almost all the sisters felt that they no longer wanted to be a part of Phi Sigma Sigma. Whether it was because they felt like they weren't being supported or because of a disagreement over values, none of us will ever know. It probably isn't our business, either.

I wouldn't expect enlightenment. Nationals has probably said all it's going to say. And in my experience, when a chapter says "we aren't getting support," they just don't like the advice they've getting, but they've been getting plenty of help. They're mad because they want to do things the way they always have - which aren't working - and nationals wants them to change to more effective methods. But like I said that's my experience; it may not be what happened here.

I can't lie and say it isn't fun to wonder and speculate about what happened; I just don't want us to make the mistake of thinking that we're somehow going to get to the real truth here.
