ddd pledges

Simply not true. The current members ruined DDD at IU. The Executive Office and Advisors could no longer condone the bad behavior the chapter was exhibiting. This chapter was a high risk chapter, thought they could do what they wanted and not have any consequences. They pushed the limit and their chapter was pulled. It was no surprise to any member of the executive board. They were lucky the University did not kick them off. Don't feel sorry for them for not for following their bylaws.

So wrong.

The undergraduates were responsible for causing Tri Delta to get shut down. Don't ever blame Nationals or the advisors for stepping in & yanking their charter.

Let's face it: Tri Delta's Exec Board had numerous opportunities to fix the issues which were plaguing their chapter but never made any effort/headway to do so. Instead, the ladies of Tri Delta felt that they were entitled to do whatever & not think about the repercussions of their actions. That's where EO stepped in & said, "Enough is enough," & pulled the plug on this high risk chapter.

This should be a precautionary example of how not to grind your HQ's/EO's gears. Your orgs' HQs/EOs/Nationals don't condone any bad behavior & if you think you're above the law here you're sadly mistaken.

You are delusional! It is the current members fault and no one else. Don't sit there and blame the EO or advisors. The women are adults and should not need to be babysat. EO and advisors did not tell the chapter to go out and make bad choices or any of the things they were on probation for.
Their EO and advisors were there TO HELP get this house back on track. They gave them the opportunity to have a recruitment. Recruitment women that would uphold the values of DDD. It's unfortunate the NM's did not get the opportunity to become an asset to this chapter and perhaps change the culture. The NM's are not to blame.
This chapter was on a very strict probation and a high risk chapter. No one in this chapter was unaware of what was being required of them by their EO. Advisors can only do so much. The chapter was given opportunities to change the culture but they couldn't do it. The EO, in order to protect Tri Delt from serious consequences did the final ultimate thing and pulled the charter. If you want to point fingers, then point towards the chapter Officers for not holding their members accountable for their actions. The officers oversee "maintaining control"...THEY LIVE IN THE HOUSE!!! They were elected to uphold the bylaws of the chapter. What a millennial attitude! "It's not our fault that we are out of control, it's the fault of our advisors and the EO because they couldn't control our behavior. Why should we have to suffer because of our behavior was reprehensible?"

Leadership is not a title or position, it is an example. This is a result of poor leadership.

"The EO, in order to protect Tri Delt from serious consequences did the final ultimate thing and pulled the charter."

Hmmmm. Maybe they should have chosen to protect 55 18 year old girls by not hosting recruitment. But instead they chose to lie and be fake and recruited them into a house with serious issues and problems. What wonderful people these ladies must be. What a fine example!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Okay, people. Had the IU Tri Delta's NEGLECTED to recruit during their probationary time in 2017 and 2018, Tri Delta would have ended up over 100 women smaller than any other IU sorority. Is that scenario any better than having 55 women that were only new members for a few weeks? Better to have the 55 pledged in 2017 than never to have those 55 women belong somewhere because complainers were afraid to have new members due to probation. All 55 were released and are able to be bid to another group should they so desire.

It is the fundamental right and privilege of a private org like Tri Delta to follow proven and specific guidelines when governing their chapters and supervising their membership. If you don't like it and you are a Tri Delta, I hope you have a position within your org to be the change you wish to see.

What happened during mom's weekend?

Thanks national spokesperson for the lengthy speech. The more you speak the more we realize what a terrible job did and continue to do.

That is very short sighted. The women, formerly known as Tri-Delts, may be partying it up now and having fun but they will not have the life long sisterhood and experiences that you will have within your chapter.

This may shock you because you've obviously drank the national kool aid, but lifetime sisterly bonds are not limited to chapters that stay open, or even to Greeks in general. How do you know that these women won't remain friends? That's awfully shallow and ridiculous. You are the
shortsighted one.

Also, the pledges may not have been initiated, but unless they terminated their individual memberships, the initiated members are STILL Tri Delts.

The poster :( indicated that she wished she had gotten a bid indicating that those who had "are becoming" great friends. This implies that she is talking about the 2017 pnms who were only part of Tri-Delta for a few weeks. That being said, those women are not part of an organization where they will be/are building a lifelong sisterhood. They barely got to know one another. Most will probably end up in other chapters next year. Those that don't won't experience those types of connections.

LOL girl same I hate my chapter and have more friends in tri delt which sucks but gotta live with it I guess

Tri Delta CEO Karen Hughes White tells The (Bloomington) Herald-Times " she couldn't discuss details of what led to the March 4 closure order because of privacy reasons. She says chapter members ignored recommendations "

@zebulawn you sure know a lot. Maybe you could hold a meeting with the alums who have supported this chapter for 100 years and give them answers. Their lifelong, perpetual bond thing isn't really working out. I think that only applies when money is involved.

Ha! Some of those pledges have bids from other chapters already and will be initiated in the fall. A few of the others will be offered bids in the fall, some of them will go thru recruitment again, and some will be fed up with the Greek system and say screw it.
