Their national offices are closing them bc they were way too small compared to all of the other chapters and they couldn’t operate tbh. Like every single member had to hold a position this semester and that’s just unrealistic. And statistically, they weren’t gaining members. Like they’d have a small pledge class one year then they’d kind of bounce back but then for like 4 years straight it’s just been small pledge classes. Like too small like less than 20 girls.
Now what came first, DG’s operational challenges Leading to a lower “social standing” with frats, lower UDance fundraising, and overall image issues, thus making PNMs not wanna join? Or was it all the outsider opinions and hate DG caught for being nothing less than themselves since forever that caused them to have low PNM retention that then led to their operational issues? The world may never know 🧐

It’s because this Greek life is toxic and the longer I’m in it the easier it is to see.

Websites like this one hurt DG too. Wish the greek community would get off of this anonymous website and support one another instead of making up social ranks that mean very little.

Yah but also getting rid of this platform doesn’t get rid of the whole issue which is our Greek life (and others at other schools fr) is fake as hell preaching “find your home/people!” And then dumping on DG and not supporting them.
I honestly hope my chapter is bottom next I wanna eliminate all the fakes outa my chapter peace ✌🏻

DG girls are the absolute nicest on campus and have probably the strongest sisterhood. Everything a sorority should be. Shame that our campus culture probably did most of the damage

A culture made up of individuals who perpetuate the issue and now “mourn” the loss of this chapter.

We deserve a Panhellenic experience that Helps women fulfill their academic and leadership potential, forms bonds of friendship beyond college, and walks through walk with philanthropic pursuits, doesn’t just pass parents $$$ along to questionable nonprofits (autism speaks, B+ foundation). DG was all of those sorry everyone.

Ok duh but that’s fewer bids to be given out? Less chapters?

It won’t affect it in any major way. Each chapter will probably need to give out more bids due to quota being higher. Quota is determined by the number of PNMs who go to pref round.

@PNM don't quote me on this but they may increase quota for all our other chapters to make up?

Here's the real tea. UD's DG chapter exemplified what Panhellenic life was designed for: service & sisterhood. The girls commenting on their insta post are the same girls who dropped out of formal recruitment when they went through it and got DG AND the same girls who were rude to their faces in rounds. As someone heavily involved in formal recruitment in past years at UD, I can say first hand that girls going through recruitment do everything they can to get rid of DG as FAST as they can. Why do they do something so rude you ask? Because of frat boys. They hear what chapters frats want to mix with and think are "hot" and then get butthurt when they get dropped from them. VERY few of them join their organizations because they're genuinely interested in service or sisterhood because to them it's all about social climbing and bragging rights. This is especially ironic considering how many fraternities fake CAP points and don't spend even an ounce of time on philanthropy unless a "hot" chapter wants to run a fundraiser with...uh I mean...FOR them. Furthermore, the chapters considered to be the most desirable also seem to have the most issues with sisterhood...interesting. Could it be that when you recruit based on looks you end up with a chapter of girls who don't actually share the same values and get along? It's unfortunate that we don't want to have a conversation about the culture on this campus and the values of some of the chapters here that are still allowed to function. I think we should all take this time to look into the history and values that our organizations say they stand for and reflect on what we can do to exemplify them because a chapter that excelled where we falter is being punished for our mistakes. But y'all frat stars not ready for that conversation

This 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 what 👏🏻 I 👏🏻 came 👏🏻 here 👏🏻 for 👏🏻
I’ll admit I’m not in DG (My years have helped me be wiser) and all I can say is girls who join DG Weren’t joining a sorority for da boys. And that’s what we need more of. But we gotta bid that in our own chapters. Stop bidding girls with Instagram and mixers being all they want.
And this is why I wasn’t elected as recruitment director 🤷‍♀️

@Ange1 THANK YOU!!! The complacency is what hurts to see! It's great and all for everyone to (fake) mourn right now but maybe this is a fantastic time for us to make up for it in recruitment. ACTUALLY drop PNMs who have been rude to particular chapters and those that are obviously joining for the clout in favor of girls with drive and confidence and DEMONSTRATED VALUES. We preach sisterhood but don't want to do ANYTHING to build it.

Definitely a frat boy. There's no way a girl left such an unintelligent comment on a thread of people actually having an important conversation about greek life at UD.

Also what’s wrong with literally stating what the issue was? They didn’t have enough members and they couldn’t recruit more.

Repeating from another thread

Here is another piece of the puzzle no one has mentioned, I’m going to go ahead and wager that none of us work as hard on recruitment as DG works on their’s.
Look I’m not saying we haven’t given up plenty of our time for rehearsals and being there late at night to set up and breakdown the rooms and be trapped in Germ infested bubbles talking with hundreds of strangers, but I’ll be honest One of the reasons I know that I hate recruitment practice is 80% of the time it doesn’t matter for my chapter except to maybe rehearse a couple of bump groups and fast facts so we don’t look like complete morons. We could literally show up to our room, not decorate, not make a video, and talk about the bachelor, And we would still probably make quota with girls who want to join our chapter. Just based on the name alone! How stupid is that? Obviously we wouldn’t be getting the pledge class that we wanted but there would still be 60 girls who would want to join us just because i don’t even know why (don’t get me wrong, my chapter is pretty rad).
Meanwhile DG is killing themselves to fill a pledge class and still when they extend bids girls wouldn’t even show up to their bid day to give it a chance.
