why'd they go?
by: Just CuriousDG was talking about how they just recolonized after losing their charter? Why did they lose it in the first place?
Commentby: Yes, but...
they are also one of the stronger national groups. Every sorority closes chapters for numbers form time to time.

DG is one of the middle to lower groups nationally. It's always interesting to see these posts. If someone is in that sorority they brag that they're a top house nationally. Sorry old lady.

Houses are expensive to run, and they just couldn't pledge enough people to maintain the house. Plus, at the time being in a sorority was not cool. People would pledge, but then drop out after a year. Delta Phi Epsilon and Alpha Xi Delta also closed in the 1970s. The chapter did not haze. In fact, they were one of the better groups about not hazing.

My Mom always told me they folded because there was an issue with the brothel law our state has... They didn't actually have a brothel but they did something to make them fall into that category and got kicked off. Everyone knows that law is stupid though.. I mean that's the whole reason AU sororities don't have houses.

Yeah it was ONE girl being a call girl. They got shut down based on one person. It was ridiculous and not fair. Just be honest about it instead of covering it up.

My great aunt was a DG here (she was sad they weren't back before I went through, but I'm a junior so I'd already pledged) and she told me that they had a few years where things were good but at the time they just weren't an "Alabama" sorority, they were a Mississippi one (still are in a lot of ways I guess). So when more girls started rushing their numbers took a dive from girls only wanting the Bama groups with a long history, keeping in mind not many people went out of state 40-50 years ago. She said she always loved the girls because if you were there you really wanted to be but after about 10 years of low numbers and not breaking into higher numbers and hometowns nationals closed them with the understanding from the university that when greek life expanded DG could recolonize if they wanted to. So I guess about 4 or 5 years ago groups presented to become part of greek life and DG was one of them picked. Again, I know all of this from my great aunt, and she was pretty involved in helping restart them here.
