Weird, she also talks about houses being shuttered in the late 60's...I don't see any?

I don't think that GPB was there as late as 1988. In twenty years I've never met an alum past the 70s and we've always been told the house closed "around 1980". It had been dominant several years when I pledged in 1990.

Our Alpha Zeta chapter was closed in February 1988.

We were always told that it closed around 1980 and that's what I've heard from Alpha Zeta alums as well. But I'm looking at our local area strip list and see initiates from 1987 on it so I've learned something new today!

The dates aren't completely accurate. Alpha Gam closed in the early 70's and recolonized in the 80's, making that end date of 1988 correct.
