Good summary on that, 33! Besides, not all GLOs have a inactive or undergrad alumni status option for their undergrad members. For those groups, just 'going alum' isn't an option.

Beryana, I'd suspect you're right that Purdue is reorganizing, but I don't know either. Most likely--and I bet this is true for every GLO--the only people who know what is happening are those who need to know. Unless you know the facts folks, it's always much better to say "I don't know" instead of speculating. Regardless of what is or isn't happening with our Purdue AOII's, I hope they have the support of the entire Purdue greek system!

One thing to remember for all of us, sometimes each GLO does things differently. Some groups may never recolonize or reorganize active chapters, and others may. What ABC calls "reorganizing", DEF may call "restructuring" and GHI may call it "reopening" and then JKL is "recolonizing."

On this note, I was extremely impressed reading about one of Delta Gamma's active chapters in South Carolina (I think.) DG on a national level came in and put on what sounded like a colonization week for this chapter. I don't know what DG called it, whether it was just "open recruitment events" or "reorganizing" or whatever, but it was definitely a major event on par with a colonization. It sounded incredibly pro-active of DG, and I have been incredibly impressed about DG as an organization just based upon this info being shared.
