In all honesty, you'll see that this recolonization was around the same time as our Mizzou recolonization which also failed. Alpha Gamma Delta expanded and recolonized aggressively in mid 80's/early 90's and a large number of those chapters never got strong enough to remain viable. I think we overextended our resources. Currently, the focus is to help chapters who are struggling stay afloat and possibly re-colonize some chapters that have closed rather than continue to expand aggressively. I am glad to see our resources being poured into our current chapters and making them strong. The Big Squirrels do what they feel is best for the Fraternity at the time, but they also learn from mistakes. They are currently trying some very innovative and pro-active ideas to keep our strong chapters strong and to inspire our struggling chapters to be the best that they can be! It is a similar philosophy to that of NPC on a local campus. Don't expand until the chapters you have already are strong and I think it's working well because we haven't closed a chapter in the past 4 years!
