Yes, indeed, Greek Life was not recognized by the University for a number of years. Panhellenic hired their own director. Her office was off campus on the ground floor of a private dorm. It was to her that Texas Kappa Delta alumnae went to to see if they might have the opportunity to recolonize. You also have to understand that at this time 1000+ girls would register for rush and quota for every chapter was set at 50 (for years) It didn't matter how many registered, quota was 50. It was the wild West. I am so very proud of our Sigma Epsilon Kappa Delta chapter. (Even if UT Mom ranks us #11) We have been #1 or #2 in grades for several years, raised thousands of dollars for our community service projects. What a testament to those alumnae who took a risk 35 years ago and put up their own money to buy a House which they knew was a necessity to survive. I couldn't be more proud. I know I'm ranting a bit but so be it.
