My parents were both Greek at Emory, my mom was a founding sister of Chi Omega when her local sorority affiliated in 1959. It would be great to have her chapter back.

I have read that the simultaneous chartering of the NPC sororities from locals was the largest ever. This was 10 or so years after women were first admitted to the University. I have to dig out the '59 Emory yearbook that I got on Ebay and refresh my memory!
Chi Omega closed at Emory shortly before I got there, and re-colonized the year that I went through recruitment in '83. I'm not sure how soon after I graduated that it, sadly, terminated the chapter again. Maybe there wasn't enough time between the closing and the re-colonization?
During the four years that I was there, KD and Alpha Chi also folded.
All the closed chapters had lodges, so it wasn't a housing=image issue.
