I'm so happy they're returning after all the crap Northwestern went through with their greek system. I hope the other chapters can return at some point too!

I'm so glad for GPhiB and Northwestern University that this chapter will be returning to campus.


Question-At one point around 2020 wasn't Northwestern Panhellenic trying to completely disband and wanted to prevent any possible future reestablishment of closed chapters?

Oh lord thank goodness it didn't happen. Tri Delta nearly was shut down too, but the housing corp worked hard to keep it open. The chapter is still there and is thriving.

It was more that the campus was caught up in the Abolish Greek Life movement and several chapters closed as a result of members (largely new members, in most cases, I believe) deciding that Greek Life perpetuated discrimination, and some voted to return their charters. I can't speak to what each organization did, but there were organization-led efforts to work with chapters and the university. I don't believe that Northwestern itself was involved in trying to dismantle the Greek system.

During the extensive discussion on here, I noticed schools like NYU and Berkley didn't have this, despite having more liberal populations, as did a lot of the Ivy's. Though Wash U in Missouri had a lot of chapters close due to this.

Thank you for your reply.
