Several people have already said that # of closures is not necessarily indicative of an unstable membership program within an org.... We all know there are many factors that cause chapter closures--but to me, it's more interesting to note the number of schools who have lost more than one chapter in the last few years --what does that say about the strength of the Greek systems/environment at those schools? Again, I know there are many factors involved here, but it's something to ponder...although we already have seen examples of the posted list being inaccurate, I was surprised about a few of the schools that appeared to have more than one closing in that short period:
Arizona State(2)
Clemson (2)
Cornell (2)
Embry-Riddle (2)
Frostburg State (2)
Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (2)
Miami (3)...I wasn't sure if this was a combo of Miami of Ohio and Miami or not....
Michigan State (3)
SUNY Oneonta (2)
Syracuse (2)
UNC-Chapel Hill (2)

Just wanted to add that Florida State University lost TWO sororities in the same year (1999 I believe)-Sigma Kappa and Tri-Sigma. I heard that either KKG or AGD was next. But I just looked at their websites and thoe girls look like they are doing just fine. Plus a great friend of mine was a KKG there and they were constantly winning awards. Anyway..... yeah-losing two in one year-nasty. They had bid beautiful houses and from what I've been told by some DZ and ZTA friends-they were really good girls. FSU is a huge Greek school too. I would have thought they'd be expanding, not closing chapters. AXiD left there a few years ago too. Very sad, all great chapters.
