RF - here's the thread where the "alpha curse" was brought up.

Basically, a really bad case of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

That's pretty funny, actually, and it's also known as the Alpha Syndrome. Seriously though, these chapters were never forced by the university to close. They just came to an unfortunate end.

I am laughing at myself. I have been to Emory many times - my brother got his PhD there, and while doing so he lived in Decatur. I didn't even realize I had typed Decatur instead of Atlanta.

I guess there is a "Delta" curse at University of North Texas. Except for Alpha Delta Pi, every sorority with "Delta" in its name closed: Kappa Delta, Delta Zeta, Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Gamma, and Delta Phi Epsilon. Now that DG is re-chartering and KD will be re-chartering, hopefully the curse will be broken.

Chi Omega 1899, Delta Delta Delta 1904, Phi Mu 1926, Delta Gamma 1927-?/1938, Kappa Delta 1927, Delta Zeta 1928-1953, Zeta Tau Alpha 1939-?, Kappa Kappa Gamma 1947, Alpha Omicron Pi 1958, Alpha Delta Pi 1961-1997, Pi Beta Phi 1962, Alpha Xi Delta 1971-1976, Kappa Alpha Theta 1979
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just to verify: ZTA was here from 1939-1999, ADPi was gone before I went through rush and that was in the Fall of 1996, so I think they left in the spring of 1996? I think DG's Alpha Psi chapter (named in honor of of Psi Chapter) in 1927 and then in 1931 they closed because Ole Miss lost it's academic ranking and then they came back in 1936 with the ground breaking of their new house as a colony and then as a chapter in 1938. I got this information from the DG website, very interesting stuff....

The dates of recruitment for this year are Sept. 26-Sept. 30, 2007. Basically they pick the dates around the football schedule and that was the best time I guess!

The Alpha Sigma Alpha chapter at Western IL University went inactive Spring 2003.

I believe Alpha Chi Omega closed in 1996-1997. My Rho Chi in fall '97 was an AXO and they were last pictured in the yearbook in 1996.
