You're right, it is the campus PHC that decides which NPC will be invited to expand. However, to say that this won't be taken into consideration by the women who sit on PHC is just plain ridiculous. I'm sure they'll make the best decisions on what's right for their campus, but this situation's left DZ with a big fat Scarlet Letter, IMO.

I doubt that any 18 or 19 year old college freshman is going to be concerned about some sort of litigation thing when rushing. They will be more concerned about the specific chapter on their specific campus.
You live in a perfect world. Sure, we'll have the open minded PNMs, but speaking as someone who used to be an impressionable 18 year old freshman, reps are everything. They don't give a shit about the litigation, but I'm thinking that there will be a lot of them who won't want to rush a sorority with a national bad rep even though it's at no fault of the individual chapters.

Perhaps I missed something, but has any other Delta Zeta chapter closed because of the DePauw debacle? If not, then why would any chapter close *because of* the DePauw debacle?
No chapters have closed. See kddani's post above. She explains it nicely.

While I don't necessarily agree with the lawsuit, but who started the media frenzy that has lead to the lawsuit? Was it the chapter members that were granted alumnae status or was it the university?

I doubt that really strong chapters have much to worry about if their reputations on campus are solid. I agree that to PNMs, reputation is paramount, but local reputation may matter more than national rep. if the chapter is highly desirable already.

Weaker chapters working to rebuild and strengthen are likely to be affected the most, and they are already in the most precarious position. Questionable local reputation plus complicated national image crisis equals low turnout on bid day, I'm willing to bet.

I just can't see how staying out of the news isn't the best course of action. Maybe we'll be amazed at how wrong the information in the press is. (Heck, I agree that the media generally keeps reporting the story they know gets attention. Sometimes they are a little more casual about following up with the real details.)

ETA: Oh, NutBrwHair, me too. I don't want to get caught in the crossfire I think is about to break out. Tom, did you post that error intentionally? KD????? Correct it, man.
