Alpha Xi Delta closes its doors

[Sugarrush]

I came across this forum while checking to see if UF's Alpha Xi Delta chapter ever recolonized.

I was one of the sister's who was initiated to find out a semester later the chapter was in trouble. Our sorority house was not paid off and there were not enough sisters to maintain the bills coming in. There was hope that if we increased our recruitment efforts we'd be able to pull through. Unfortunately, by the time we were aware of the financial situation any efforts we made were just not enough to make up for the lack of membership for prior years. I'm sure I speak for my fellow sisters in saying the closing of our chapter was a very sad experience and those who were only a part of our sisterhood for a semester or two of their collegiate experience felt robbed.

I look back years later and am grateful for the wonderful sisters and life long friends I made that year, but I have to say honestly the way our situation was handled left a sour taste in my mouth. You only get to join one sorority and have one collegiate experience.
