I think their percentage was low prior to the lawsuit.

They were, but the legal issues existed for a long long time.

Huge mismanagement of nfp funds and the Board was dealing in the mismanagement too. Some Chapters went local in order to deal with the situation before the law suit.

that's interesting....does anyone know who has the highest percent active of all Greek organizations? I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for information like this

I seem to recall NBH crunching the numbers a few years ago, which leads me to believe the answer is Chi Omega, at least among NPC's.

Not looking for trouble here, simply hoping I can answer correctly...Kappa Kappa Gamma has, in my own estimation from number-crunching only the 26 NPC groups, the highest percentage of open chapters from their entire list of chapters.

I don't doubt it, but what are those numbers?

I believe you are correct! One day when I was procrastinating something, I did this compare for the NPC groups based on various sources (wikipedia, HQ websites, GC posts, etc--so it's not apples to apples) and IIRC, Kappa was far away the leader in terms of the smallest percentage of closed chapters. (And yes, realize I'm a humongous loser for doing this in my spare time!)

I don't remember which NPC had the highest percentage of closed chapters and sadly I didn't save the spreadsheet.

According to the numbers I have, Alpha Xi Delta has 121 open chapters, which includes 3 colonies in Fall 2013. There are currently 212 chapters that have been established.

We also have 4 colonies (2 new, 2 recolonizations) opening between Spring 2013-Fall 2016, so by end of Fall 2016 that number should be 125 out of 214.

Pretty proud of my org's recent expansion success, considering when I joined 5 years ago we had 112 open chapters out of 206.

Look at that Alpha Phi figure! 148 out of 155! Wow!

It might be Phi Mu...I know we had to close a lot of chapters in order to join the NPC, because many were at non-four-year institutions and the like.
