A little bit of both. The Director of Admissions was the chapter's advisor (I believe) and also from that specific chapter, there were also graduate alumni from the specific chapter that worked for Elon at that time. I think because of this connection, the graduate alums were working the Campus Panhel and their HQ to for the alum organization for when the chapter closed. I know that after the chapters "official closing" the undergrad alums were still a presence on campus -- they held events, wore letters, etc.

I just want to say thanks to everyone here who has been so nice. The Panhellenic spirit is stronger than I ever knew possible. I honestly feel more love towards NPC than my own sorority right now.

This is probably going to sound like I'm betraying my org, but with recruitment coming up, I'd love to be able to help. Does anyone know if it's possible for someone in my situation to get involved? I can't be a Gamma Chi, but I'd really like to help out in some way. Any thoughts?

Thanks again, everyone. It's been a blessing to have GC to turn to during all this.

Maybe talk to Panhellenic about if they need runners or tech support help or whatever you may be good at. Also, you could make treats for the Rho Chis and/or chapters.

Why can't you be a gamma chi? I know that the chapter that was closing at Elon's campus had 3 gamma chis that year. Granted, it was still technically open - but they weren't participating. You would probably be a great gamma chi because you seem to have a muture perspective of greek life and could offer a lot to pnms.

If your school is dead set on letting you become a gamma chi - maybe see if you can help in the greek life office or something. Recruitment is so crazy, I would be surprised if they turned down volunteers!
