Ok so just as kind of an update, last night our president told us that panhel would be letting the girls that pledged XYZ this last recruitment (fall 2003) depledge and not have to wait another year to join a house. Quota was 66 and I believe they bid 9 women. So now they are releasing these women, which I think is the fair thing to do, but it's just so unbelievably sad. I was hoping a miracle would come along this last recruitment, but I guess not.
I am guessing since they are letting go of these women they will not be trying to pledge anymore women but I really don't know. I'm not sure if they'll shut down now or at the end of the semester...
I think it's just really hard when a chapter has to leave. Last year Sigma Chi had to leave and even though I only know maybe a handful of the guys, I still felt bad for them. Yes there were some guys who did a lot of stupid stuff and the best thing was probably to close, but still they have a bond just like my sisters and I do and I think it's sad to see that fall apart.
