I'm not saying this is the school because I have a different guess but here is UConn's statement on unrecognized groups. Delta Gamma was suspended for less time than the other two groups, which are still suspended.

I don't think we're talking Connecticut. UConn was my first thought, but there are more than 5 NPC organizations at UConn....

Penn?

No. The last time sorority closed there was in 2009. AXO technically hasn't closed there; I think the national is hoping to reorganize, or whatever the terminology would be.

I'm considering a campus not yet mentioned: one NPC closed in 2010, one 2015 and, according to the campus website another one closed this spring 2016. (But, the 2016 closure is not reflected on the GC threads).

On one hand, I don't want this to turn into a "hunt"; on the other hand, understanding the campus and/or reason for the chapter closing would help us and the OP better understand her options. Though, we probably should respect the chapter's need for privacy/discretion.

I just feel there is more to this than meets the eye. Just sayin'.

I believe you and I are thinking of the same school. And I agree, I don't want to out the OP - but I think if we knew more about the situation, we could give better advice.

The OP said there were three closed before hers, all within the last two to three years and implied they were all for risk management. So including hers, that would make four closed in three-ish years. That one doesn't fit the criteria. RM closures for NPC groups are relatively rare, so we usually hear about them. To have that many in such a short period of time would be something pretty well known I would think. Look how many of us know about UConn. I don't doubt that her chapter was closed, but I don't think we're getting an entirely accurate picture of the circumstances or campus.

I hear what you're saying. I'm wondering if this is a case of over-exaggeration. You know, when people say things like, "So, like, there's literally chapters getting shut down every month!!" Well, no, not really. Like you said, we would have certainly known what she was talking about if any of us knew of such a campus with major problems like that. That's why I think it would be beneficial for us to know which campus is being considered here. There has to be a way to address a widespread problem in the Greek community. On the other hand, if it's really not as widespread as she says, then I can see the benefit of not digging too far down.

As for the other point, the campus I was thinking of does have a 4th NPC that is being listed as closed on the campus website; but, I don't know what year it closed. They also have an NPHC sorority currently suspended, along with a whole laundry list of fraternities that have been de-recognized.

This is exactly what I was thinking...

I would hope that if there were leadership members of the chapter who had been to conference, held offices, really contributed, and considered their sorority a part of their lives going forward that those members might be considered for alumnae initiate status should they look into it. In this situation they have all seemingly been dismissed equally (when I seriously doubt all were equally responsible for whatever "it" was). But then again, not knowing any details makes this a hard situation to really solve.
