Sorry to crash, I wanted to supply Pi chapter's close date. I thought it was one of the nine NPC's that were all closed in 1944 (6 of which have returned, though one closed in 1999). However, I did some research and it appears that it closed prior to Stanford's abolishment of sororities. I am rather interested in my alma mater's sorority history, so I am trying to find out the close date/public reason given for my own interest and would be happy to post it here.
And for consideration for re-colonization:
Campus climate now: Since the passing of Title IX, sororities have returned to campus, but there is a strong anti-greek sentiment through most of the student body and administration (interesting sidenote: one Dean is a DKE and generally won't admit it - he also comes out as very anti-greek). There are, however 5 sororities (once 6, but DG closed in 1999), something like 13 fraternities, 4 NPHC groups and 4 multicultural groups (only one really has a major foothold - the others have developed in the past 2 or 3 years) I also just heard that they hired someone with a greek background to handle greek affairs, so maybe people are changing their minds?
Edited because I'm an idiot and didn't check my facts before posting.
