adpi & zeta

by: Wondering

Why did Alpha Delta Pi and Zeta Tau Alpha leave SMU? Any word on if they could come back or other sororities possibly taking their houses?

ZTA did not get ‘kicked off ‘ campus. It was quota as well as unfair Panhellenic practices.

depends on what your national organization's policies are. by the nature of the system, chapters won't always make quota. however, if a national organization believes that a chapter is no longer upholding their values and traditions or financially can no longer sustain itself, then they may choose to close a chapter in favor of starting over later when conditions might be better. gamma phi has shown an improvement in their pledge class size, retention, and overall sisterhood so I guess it isn't a problem with their nationals.

GPhi also has a strong alumni group for SMU. That is probably one of the reasons their nationals has stuck behind them. I agree with the previous poster - they are getting better pledge classes.

I'm sure zta and adpi will both be back eventually since they still own their houses

I have heard from older Alum that Zeta was really good here. I have seen pictures, they definitely aren't horrendous. They also said they were suspiciously kicked off at the same time as the death penalty, but she could never get a Zeta to tell her what really happened.

Also, KD used to be on campus. What happened to them??

Closed in the 1970s due to numbers. This was right after the hippie/Vietnam era, and many people still thought Greek life was uncool.

KD has always been horrible everywhere in Texas and most other places outside the deep south. Weak sauce sorority
