See my previous post. It's only been 6-7 years, but I think if the chapter was going to fold again immediately it would've already done so.

I'm only familiar enough with two recolonizations to talk about them, ADPi at Pitt and at PSU.

The one at Pitt started out great guns, but in such debt, it didn't turn around until the Sisters decided to become the masters of their own identity. The Sisters instigated tough rules, and those who didn't follow them were out the door. It took a few years, but they are now up for Alpha Delta Pi's most coveted award at this summer's convention.

At PSU, the recolonization was handled very well - the largest colony in Alpha Delta Pi history! From what I've heard, it had the same pattern. They, too, had a slight dip, but is now going from strength to strength.

I could name a few other sororities whose recolonizations went well, but it wouldn't be fair for me to do without intimate knowledge.

I was led to beleive that ADPi did not go back to a closed Campus and if that is not true, I suggest My Alama Mater as would love to see them return!

While not the cookie cutters of beauty they were the most hard working and the nicest. Very envolved and when I started my local, they were the first to give us recognition as being a founded group on campus.

Soft spot is still there!

It's good to know that some of the re-organizations do succeed!

I suppose some places it could be almost like being a new group.

I went to grade school with an ADPi sister at Pitt.

We actually just won the Chapter of Excellence award here, which is an honor that only a handful of the 20 chapters actually receive... so I'd say things are doing fairly well

I was counting on you to add your two cents! It's been a couple years since I've been to PSU.
