Axe 'em, Jacks! You're correct!
I was attending SFA when SK closed down. There wasn't any specific incident as far as I can remember. I knew several ladies in the chapter and they were all great. There was a huge campaign on the part of ALL the fraternities and sororities to help them recruit and remain on campus. I remember every Greek wearing a "Go Sigma Kappa" button for at least a month if not longer.
The main problem seemed to be that there just weren't enough Rushees/PNM's to support 6 chapters and they will probably run into that problem again. Gamma Phi Beta tried to come on campus after Sigma Kappa closed. While they started out very well, they were not successful either. (Their house was supposed to be between the DZ & Tri-Delt houses.)
Although all 5 NPC chapters got quota this fall, a couple had to scramble to get NM's after the formal bids had been given out and before the official announcement of pledge classes. Also, chapter total there has been set too high and none of the groups have reached it, even the top on campus. There doesn't seem to be as much alumnae support as there should be but Nacogdoches is also a small town in the middle of nowhere. Because of those factors, I'm not sure how successful another group could be. If it works...great! But I would just hate to see young ladies get hurt if it doesn't work out. I've seen it there twice already and it is not pretty.
