Indiana University Tri Delta Closed

[33girl]

That's pretty much what I said in the first sentence There seemed to be posts that were expressing incredulity that parents even had an emotion about it. I'm not sure why it would be surprising as we are living in the Helicopter Age.

I almost mentioned the helicopter age, then chose not to. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

And also the age of people thinking that the legal system exists to validate their feelings.

I really cannot believe that:

1. People actually think the members don't know why this happened.

2. Parents are involved.

I was in the meeting with the Executive Board at convention when the decision was made to close my own chapter (numbers, not risk management reasons). It is an experience I would never wish on anyone.

The thought that Tri Delta would close a chapter like IU on a whim without making the process exceedingly clear to the members over many months is ludicrous. Only someone with their head in the sand and in complete denial would think otherwise. For DDD to close down this chapter, it had to be bad and long-term.

I agree entirely.

The question ultimately is: are the collegians holding back, making it seem like they did nothing wrong, so the parents are outraged "for" them... or have the parents gone rogue?

I think it's outrageous that the parents are taking this on and demanding answers, but at least I might understand it a little more if the collegians are shrugging their shoulders and playing dumb.

That being said...

Petition signing and lawyers? Get real.

Well put, sister!

Regarding the talk of whether or not alumnae should receive an answer regarding what happened from EO, there's nothing saying that alumnae have not been informed. However, this is chapter and organizational business, and details of what happened should not be necessarily spread around. As an alumna of a different chapter (and not a volunteer, etc), it's not my business regarding what lead to this chapter's closure. I trust that my organization took the proper and necessary steps regarding this chapter's closure.

As a member of Tri Delta, your remarks are well stated and incredibly spot on. And you're right - the young women in the chapter know [I]exactly[I] why their national took this step.
