Two years earlier, in spring of 2019, the chapter had reported 142 people in membership and 47 new members. Delta Gamma is not the first chapter to leave campus in recent years, as the Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Omicron Pi sororities voted to disband and leave campus during the 2020-2021 academic year...
According to McLendon, the decision was made in early to mid-January 2022, but the review process started a few months earlier, in November 2021.
Campus Life, as well as the Women’s Panhellenic Association (WPA) advocated on behalf of Delta Gamma, to “be able to hopefully get the national organization to see that there was something to work with here and that we could do some good things with them,” McLendon said. However, the advocacy efforts were ultimately unsuccessful."
I remember reading articles from the Wash U student paper where various sorority members were quoted who felt that big changes needed to be made within their chapters, or they should close altogether, and indeed, that some of the memberships had voted to close their chapters. Washington University was one of the early anti-greek movements. So now Panhellenic is trying to advocate for the remaining chapters? Did they not realize that actions have consequences?
