Any news on the IU chapter effort? I definitely think expansion is needed there, considering only half the women who rush get a bid. The big hurdle is finding land for a house...there really isn't much, if any, to be had.
The chapter at IU closed at the end of the 1993-1994 school year after a few unsuccessful rushes. Alpha Sigma Alpha and Sigma Kappa also closed that year for the same reason. (Tri-Sigma had 35 or so members, Sigma Kappa had 62 and ASA had under 20, most of the chapters at IU have well over 100 members.) There was a story about that in the IU yearbook from that year. One tidbit: when the closing of the chapter was announced, the pledges (they were still pledges back then!) were given the choice to go through and be initiated, or to drop and be able to rerush another sorority in the fall. (The decision was made something like two weeks into the semester) Everyone chose to initiate, no one dropped. That really says something about Sigma sisterhood.
