Shenandoah University(VA)- new FSL system (?); I found a chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma existed briefly from 1997-1999. I cannot find any existence of an NPC or NPHC group having been on campus

The following organizations are presenting at Shenandoah:

Sigma Nu: 2/17/25
Phi Mu Delta: 2/26/25

Alpha Gamma Delta: 3/4/25
Theta Phi Alpha: 3/5/25

I found this info in the "events" sections.

The Alpha Gamma Delta chapter at Nebraska Wesleyan University is closing. Closure is due to membership numbers. The chapter had been chartered in 1927.

With the enrollment dropping at most smaller universities (and small universities closing), we will probably see more of this. I have read several articles about the declining number of 18-yr-olds, and we about to hit larger drop.

I have been advising at small chapters for several year now, and small chapters (under 40) are always hanging by a thread. It can be very difficult to get a full officer team that actually does all their tasks when that officer team is 40% of the chapter. Not to mention the chapter has to have a high % of members pay on time and maintain grades. So, there is a big difference between 2 members not paying and 4 members not paying.

At my Alma mater (and sadly my own chapter is closing when the year ends) every chapter had to do COB, even the ones that historically have never done it in the past. When I left the school had about 7k enrolled.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been suspended from Miami University (OH) due to hazing. Read the article at your own risk it’s horrible.
