more sororities

is a lie, they closed due to low numbers

Not true. Their numbers were fine and and they were a solid middle tier group. It wasn't hazing either. It was other risk management issues. They never intended to stay closed but things got complicated. This is the truth.

I was around in the late 80's Gamma Phi was not mid tier, they were lower tier but viable they pledged 35 or so in 1987 quota was in the low 50's or so . Had failed to make quota for 5-6 years. Similar to ADPI at TAMU and then they had some behavior issues. I don't know the details, and the International said your done. Remember it well.

Like my name says, I was here then and know exactly what went on. Their closure was done by their nationals and had nothing to do with numbers. There were many other groups who had issues that way. It was all risk management. The plan was to close and reopen but some complications got in the way that prevented it. This was the only sorority that left UT for reasons other than numbers.

Gamma Phi closed because their nationals wanted to close and then recolonize - but it never happened. UT Dean of women pleaded with their nationals to not close the chapter, but Gamma Phi thought they would close and recolonize because they had not been making quota. They were stronger than Aloha Phi and would have done fine if they did not close.

Had pledge classes ranging from 130 to 160 girls!

agree - what Maren said - that is why there is such a high drop rate during recruitment - if a pnm does not like the house that is still a viable option for them during recruitment, they drop and this campus has so much going on that everyone can find their place to belong here.
