As for the comment on the Zeta recolonization....
I spent one semester at Miami over 25 years ago (the longest 4 months of my life). Since then, Zeta recolonized twice, Phi Mu once, KD once, ASA once (and gone), and AEPhi once. There may be more, but those are the only chapters that I can recall. There are also chapters that have left the campus for good.
Miami is a very strong Greek campus, and even though there are no houses, chapters will try very hard to bring it back strong. Tri Delta has such a strong history and I think the administration is over-reacting to the event. Sure they broke the rules, but what chapters doesn't?

I'm perfectly aware of tier shifts, as I spent four years at Miami (the BEST four years of my life). You're missing the point I'm making, which is that in no way was Tri-Delt the "lowest ranking" chapter on campus. A previous poster implied that the chapter was pulled more for its reputation, and I'm saying there's no way a national organization is going to pull a 98-year-old chapter because it doesn't have the hottest members on campus. The only thing wrong with Tri-Delt's reputation is they were certainly known as party girls.
I know you didn't like Miami -- that's fine. But the vast majority of other chapters at Miami don't act this way. I can say definitively that my chapter never behaved like this, and I have friends in every single chapter, most of who were shocked to hear what the Tri-Delt chapter had done. I don't think the administration overreacted in the slightest.
