Our Epsilon Beta chapter at West Virginia Institute of Technology relinquished it’s charter due to low membership.

Two years ago, WVIT relocated to the defunct Mountain State University in Beckley. The move was to stimulate student interest and increase admissions. This plan BACKFIRED. Admissions dropped from 2000+ to 1100. Alpha Sigma Tau is now the only Greek organization on campus.

This is my school and it's heartbreaking to hear. I have so many friends from that chapter. As much as I hated the move, the old campus was literally falling out of the hill. They had to shut two dorms because of it.
