Please take note and read the press release from Tri Delta HQ: Tri Delta is suspending operations for at least four years, similar to what they did at UCLA last May. THEY ARE NOT CLOSING. The charter is not being pulled. And it won't take effect until May 2018, so perhaps irishpipes you would be kind enough to edit the NPC thread to reflect that? Because this is still an ongoing concern, an active chapter, and the actives (and new members who choose to be initiated) are still on campus. Let's not stick them in the ground just yet. Yes, I am "bone picking" and I am sensitive about this. Because...

I am close friends with several alumnae of this particular chapter. This is a painful time for them. So in a sense I do have a dog in the fight, even though I am not a Tri Delta alumna. I don't like to see my friends hurting.

Tri Delta owns their land on campus as do most of the older established chapters (Pi Phi and Theta came in 1917 so are celebrating centennials this year). Agreed - the facility is in need of updating. Perhaps they will embark on a capital campaign? I'm sure Tri Delta has plans for a successful return. I'm looking forward to it. I intend to do everything I can to support my Tri Delta panhellenic sisters. Just as I support my other NPC sisters.

My final word: Chuck Norris picked Tri Delta and that's all there is to say about that. Pansy love!

Is there any difference, other than terminology, between suspending operations and pulling a charter?

I'm confused, too. Especially since they unequivocally stated that the initiates left on campus after May will be "unaffiliated collegiate members." Most schools have minimum numbers for all recognized student orgs in general. How can a chapter exist as an org, albeit a suspended org, if there is no one in it? Couldn't they have just let the chapter age out, so to speak, and recolonize when the current members have all graduated? If they're only waiting 4 years I don't see the difference. I know that the house is a factor, but they could surely come to terms with a GLO or theme-house type group to rent it and vacate when they're ready to come back.
