From a IrishPipes list - a couple of NPC groups have withdrawn from Dartmouth.

Dartmouth College
Hanover, NH
September 21-28, 2015/January 2016
Quota=
Campus Total=120
Quota Last Year=Fall 41?/Spring 12
Registered PNMs=
*******************
Sigma Kappa Zeta Lambda 1977-1986 <-- went local
Kappa Kappa Gamma Epsilon Chi 1978
Alpha Chi Omega Zeta Mu 1980-1990 <-- withdrew
Kappa Alpha Theta Epsilon Kappa 1982-1992 <-- going local
Delta Delta Delta Gamma Gamma 1984-2015 <-- going local
Delta Phi Epsilon Epsilon Alpha 1984-1990 <-- went local and then dissolved
Delta Gamma Zeta Beta 1987-1997 <-- withdrew
Alpha Xi Delta Theta Psi 1998
Alpha Phi Iota Kappa 2006
Kappa Delta Eta Xi 2009

My understanding is that women were not understanding the benefits of a national GLO and what the costs that went to nationals or insurance paid. Someone there told me that it was difficult for NPC groups to compete with local organizations that had very little in the way of oversight.

AXO and DG alum from Dartmouth told me they voted to withdraw? It is possible that a group spun off of these to create the locals as listed on the list DukeDG put up.?

Based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmo..._organizations
Only groups which have left a National at one point are included.

Fraternities
Alpha Delta (Once part of Alpha Delta Phi)
Alpha Chi Alpha (Twice part of Alpha Chi Rho)
Dartmouth Beta (Once part of Beta Theta Pi)
Bones Gate (once part of Delta Tau Delta)
Gamma Delta Chi (from both Alpha Chi Rho and Phi Kappa Sigma)
Sigma Phi Epsilon (Disassociated from Sigma Phi Epsilon and then reaffiliated)
Sigma Nu (Disassociated from Sigma Nu and then reaffiliated)
Phi Delta Alpha (once part of Phi Delta Theta)
Chi Gamma Epsilon (once part of Kappa Sigma)
Chi Heorot (once part of Chi Phi)

Sororities
Epsilon Kappa Theta (once part of Kappa Alpha Theta)
Sigma Delta (once part of Sigma Kappa)

Coeducational
Alpha Theta (once part of Theta Chi)
The Tabard (once part of Sigma Chi)
Phi Tau (once part of Phi Sigma Kappa)

Defunct
Foley House (once part of Delta Upsilon)
Pi Sigma Psi (once part of Delta Phi Epsilon )
Harold Parmington Foundation/Delta Psi Delta (once part of Tau Epsilon Phi)
Zeta Beta Chi (once part of Delta Gamma)
Xi Kappa Chi (once part of Alpha Chi Omega, under consideration for affiliation with Phi Mu)
Phoenix (once part of Phi Gamma Delta)
Panarchy (once was part of Phi Kappa Psi)


Reasons for disaffiliation range widely from unwillingness to exclude negro members to low membership to unwillingness of the National Fraternity to help with loans for fixing the house.

Dartmouth has always been a strange campus anyway when it comes to Greek life. Excessive drinking and hazing, even by college standards. I'm not surprised that chapters there don't want to be "bothered" by belonging to a national organization and needing to abide by their guidelines and expectations.

Yes. I also think some national orgs would be concerned that having a chapter there may be more "bother" than it's worth.
