Excerpts from campus paper's site:
“Posted: 2/5/10
The Phi Delta Theta chapter at Lawrence University lost its charter Jan. 22, meaning the fraternity will no longer be recognized as a part of Lawrence's Greek system.
. . . the Phi Delts had their charter taken away due to low member numbers and insufficient grade point averages among those members.
. . . Phi Delta Theta's official charter guidelines require that the "minimum size of each chapter ... as of May 1 of each year must be 35 or greater, or must be of size at least equal to the average fraternity chapter size off all fraternities on the campus at which the charter is located." When its charter was revoked, Phi Delta Theta only had eight members.
. . .Phi Delta Theta members also struggled to maintain the grade point average required by the national chapter. Difficulty with transfer credits and members withdrawing from classes are among the reasons . . . the group was having difficulty maintaining the necessary 2.5 GPA.
. . . In 2009, the fraternity celebrated its 150th anniversary at Lawrence and boasted one of the longest continually open chapters of Phi Delt.
In fall 2012, Phi Delta Theta recruiters plan to return to Lawrence to attempt to reestablish Lawrence's charter. . . . “
