Chi Omega Closing Lehigh Chapter
Sadly, declining numbers have led to the decision to close the Chi Omega chapter at Lehigh. See the student paper's article:

That is unfortunate, that news suprised me since I knew they just colonized at Lehigh back in 2000. A classmate of mine from high school was elected their first president. Through the grape vine I had heard they were having some problems back then and it's sad to hear that those problems probably lead to their chapter closing.

It's always sad to hear about a chapter going dormant especially when the ladies tried so hard but were unable to meet quota.

Am I off my nut or did this chapter start up soon after another sorority closed at Lehigh?
(Or maybe I'm thinking of Lafayette. Or Bucknell. Or Dickinson.)

I can't think of a sorority closing but Zeta Psi had a 4-year suspension. Pi Phi had chartered their in 1997 so maybe it was too soon to add another group.

When we had IMPACT Alpha Chi earlier this year, the facilitators were from Lehigh. We told them that XO had such a great chapter at our campus, and they said that XO really struggled at Lehigh. They were worried about a possible closing. I hate that for the women of XO.
