However, former Pi Phi member senior Nina Geers emphasized the widespread belief among Pi Phi members that abolition, not reform, was the only way for the sorority to effectively follow through on its commitment to social justice.
“We finally decided that, as a chapter… the damage that we had done as an institution can’t really be undone by reform,” Geers said. “It could only be done by ceasing to exist.”

So... the national organization is shrugging it's shoulders and allowing this? Was there simply no one left to keep the chapter going, and the Sorority wouldn't or couldn't try and salvage it?
