Forced dormancy
Hello SK's-
I am writing from the host chapter of Convention- Theta Omicron at Arizona State University. In the Past 2 years, Theta Omicron has been proud to hold the titles of having the 2nd highest GPA, Chapter-of-the-year, Excellence in University and Greek Relations, Excellence in Philanthropy, and Best Homecoming decorating. In short, we were a strong- but smaller chapter on ASU's campus. National's referred to us as 'outstanding', yet on April 9, 2002, we were forced to vote to go dormant, due to a housing glitch (we don't have a corp. board). It was a vote that none of us wanted to take (certainly our 6 new Spring Class initiates), but it was forced upon us anyway.
This last week, Some Nationals admitted that it was their problem- for miscommunication, and that they should have looked into it more. But it was too late- our chapter was closed due to miscommunication. What we realized is that we were only just a number, which really hurt for all of us who lived and breathed Sigma Kappa. They have promised apology letters to us and our parents, and possibly at Convention. But I wanted to let you all know of this- if they woulc close an 'outstanding' chapter, then it can happen to anyone. I no longer have faith in our National leadership to trust them on what they are really saying.
As of April 28, 2002, 35 women of Theta Omicron will be going through Order of Triangle.
