This is an interesting discussion and debate. If we had intermediate chapters in Zeta, I guess my chapter(Nu Xi Zeta) would fall into that category because the average age is about 26-7. The chapter I used to belong to before re-activating NXZ was an older chapter but still not "old" in the traditional sense. I think that anytime you have such a large difference in age ranges you are going to have clashes. And quite frankly, the younger members often lose out. We(our orgs) have a huge gap/disparity between our older and younger members. Many have talked about bridging the gap...but can it really be bridged?...esp. when you have older members who rely on deference to put younger members in their "place"...honestly, when I joined the grad chapter, I thought I was pledging all over again...although I was up to meet the challenge, many of our other younger member are not...and we lose them...and sometimes they never come back...
But to answer your question, I was told that the Omegas had quite a few intermediate chapters and they were phased out and transitioned to graduate chapters in either 98 or 00.
Also, please note that Zeta gives a discount to Sorors who transition to graduate chapters up to 3 years after their collegiate degree is conferred.
