Delta Tau Delta closes its Chapter at Lehigh

[victoriana]

This is getting ridiculous... I'm wondering if this is all began occurring recently, or if it's been going on for a while and the administration is just now dealing with it. Any thoughts

I did some searching and came up with these recently closed/disciplined chapters at Lehigh:
Chi Phi
Delta Gamma
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Phi
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Gamma Delta
Gamma Phi Beta

Correct me if I'm wrong

Nope, that is a pretty accurate list.

Yeah, we were pretty shocked by the Lehigh AOII chapter since they won our JWH cup at Convention in 2009 (top award given to collegiate chapter for the biennium). Just proves that you don't always know what collegians are doing behind the advisors backs.

WOW this means only Theta and PiPhi remain right? How short of a time period are we talking about here? Mere years?

I don't think I've ever seen a greek system get nuked in pieces before. Is the administration becoming anti-greek, or is it cracking down on things which should be cracked down on and all of the chapters are just screwing up?

Being nearby about 10 years ago for years, and being friends with people in these chapters and spending time at their campus, I can give an outside opinion that the stuff was going on awhile ago. Granted, I don't know what it's been like recently, but it would seem to me that the school is just starting to crack down where they really should have in the past- maybe it wouldn't have been so drastic now if they would have dealt with it back then. Just my opinion, though.

All of this happened within the past year. I think the Chi Psi one might have been a year an a half ago, but pretty much all the sororities were hit with suspensions at once. There's an older thread about it with a link to a news article if you search "lehigh sororities"

Most of these groups are still on campus there. I think you misread what Victoriana posted....

So not all of these groups are CLOSED. I think the majority have just been disciplined. AOII is still on campus as far as I know.

Yeah, AOII is still on campus. They even helped with our expansion at Ramapo.

The AOIIs at Lehigh are good girls. They made some bad choices. I agree, this is likely a Towson-like campus where campus culture needs some serious change. I was at Towson at the time of all that upheaval. Not a pretty site. Probably not unlike Miami (OH).
