And even sadder when it's a chapter with such a long history. It sounds like the collegians were given multiple chances to clean up their act and chose not to do so. I can't even imagine how many alumnae there are out there who are extremely upset and heartbroken.

My uneducated guess is that the chapter has/had some sort of housing corp through their Alumnae chapter?

There are MANY alumnae out there who are very upset. I was friends with many women in this chapter during school and they had no idea this was going on these days. This chapter has traditionally been a very strong and sought after chapter at Michigan, and I am still stunned that its charter has been revoked. This was definitely not going on while we were there, but it's been a long time and the membership has changed. It makes me really angry because there are so many young woman at Michigan who would have loved to have been in Theta, or in a sorority in general, and these young women did not appear to have appreciated their wonderful opportunity.

As for the chapter house, I believe that there are 2 more sororities expanding on campus in the coming years, as well as one sorority that is always looking for housing. Perhaps one of those sororities will be able to use it. Theta put a lot of work into getting historical recognition for the house and it would be a shame to put all that work to waste.
