Beta Beta chapter at Michigan State
Pardon the thread crash, but I'm curious...
According to the MSU Go Greek website, Pikes are now living in the 120 Spartan Street house. (What has been the SDT house for as long as I can remember - at least going back to my freshman year in 1992.) However, there is no address or house listed now for Sigma Delta Tau. Does anyone have any update on the chapter?
I went to Michigan State - rushed Fall 1992 and was involved with the Greek system on that campus until 2002, when Alpha Gam closed there. It was a sad time for the Greek system - Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Phi Mu all closed within a year and a half of each other. After the 3 of us closed, Sigma Delta Tau was the smallest chapter left remaining (with AOPi being fairly close behind).
(I'll try not to go off on too much of a tangent here, but briefly...I always thought throughout the mid 90s that chapter total should have been lowered on campus. Recruitment numbers had been steadily sliding - total was 110, and only 5 or 6 chapters were consistently at total. There was another large cluster in the middle that generally hovered around 10-20 under total. And then there were 4-5 chapters that typically had 70 members or fewer. Instead of adjusting total to fit what was happening on campus, they let those smaller chapters just continue to struggle and shrink. Fast forward to 2001-2002, and 3 of those chapters had shrunk enough to close.)
Anyhow, I would appreciate any update you guys might have on your Beta Beta chapter - I hope its good news. I had really hoped that once AXD, Phi Mu, and AGD were forced to close, that the rest of the smaller chapters would somehow manage to pull through. It just really concerned me when I couldn't find a house listed for you...
