Duke & ZTA
Do any of you know anything about ZTA and Duke University in NC?
I am an ADPi at Duke and I have always heard that we at one point had a ZTA chapter here until the early 1990s, when it closed due to numbers. Unfortunately no one seems to know for sure.
A lot of chapters at Duke had some trouble from 1960s-1980s when greek life was going through a downswing (or at least according to my mom, who was a Theta here in the 70s). We also used to have Kappa Delta too, but they closed roughly the same time as ZTA did. Alpha Phi closed in the 60s or 70s I think, but just recently came back on campus.
Why do I ask? There are rumors circulating that our Panhellenic is looking to expand and bring in another sorority. Unlike places like Ole Miss or other "big south" schools where a sorority might not be able to "come back" after such a situation, NO ONE at Duke knows anything about ZTA or its Duke history (nor would they care, frankly, if they closed b/c of this or that almost 15 years ago!). A bunch of us were wondering if anyone knew the Duke-ZTA connection/history was???
