When did they close? I could have sworn I met a few actives from the Upsilon chapter at a Regional leadership thing..
As I recall, at the time, they were a small chapter. I figured that if they were closed, it was more due to numbers than anything else.

Yes, they did give it a try - but were VERY small. A few years ago they were at 11 members.

OK, now I'm more sure then ever that they are going full bore to re-colonize at UT soon. According to the new digital delta, Next years Grand Chapter is going to be in Austin, Texas.
I bet that would make their 2,055 initiated members happy (that number is rediculous)
Ohh yes, I will definitely be there.

If you're in Dallas, we can carpool 
Depending on what classes I have that summer of course.
Grand Chapter is good times.

I can't justify not going to Grand Chapter. I need to see what I can do to get myself on some committees. I've been to 2 Grand Chapters so far (Toronto was awesome). My biggest complaint is that they haven't had a whole lot of programming for alums... but it is nice to see a lot of alums up there.
There's one guy who has been at the last few who hasn't missed a Grand Chapter since the 40's. He tells the best stories -- it's interesting stuff to hear about the Grand Chapters of (I think) '67 and '69 where in '67, a measure to end segregation failed and in '69, such a measure passed by one vote. Trent Lott, of course was active at the time... big 'ol southern segregationist.
If you'll recall back when Lott said some dumb things at Strom Thurmand's 100th birthday, Tom Johnson, then the President of CNN still held a little bit of a grudge (apparently, he was in the non-segregationist camp).
Dartmouth actually resigned from the organization for a period of years until we did away with our segregationist policies. It was an interesting time to say the least.

According to their site, Stanford did the same in 1963.
