It is more than you think, and only affects the GLOs there. I can tell you that many of KKG's closed chapters are at institutions that ceased to recognize Greek Life, or the institution ceased to exist. Many KKG/KAT closures happened before other sororities were even founded.

If you happened to know which campuses this happened at I will update the numbers. I took the information from the recruitment threads and it does not state why the chapter closed, only that it closed.

But that thread only includes schools where recruitment happens now, right? So it doesn't include any schools that banned Greek life (resulting in closed chapters) or chapters that closed at schools where Greek life was later banned before 2000 or so, right?

This thread does include those schools, I guess I can assume when a school such as

Judson University Marion, AL
Kappa Delta Rho Omega Phi 1904-1919
Zeta Tau Alpha Beta New 1905-1919
Alpha Delta Pi Kappa 1910-1919
Delta Delta Delta Delta Theta 1913-1919

has all the chapters close at the same time that they were banned.

I call it pride. You call it arrogance.
