why now?
by: Why?
Why, after years of vicious ranking and bullying of Theta does everyone feel sad and think Theta is a great sorority? Guess what! To little, to late!
Want to stand behind your sadness? Talk to Theta national with a plan to help Theta stay on campus. And if you're all talk and no action, then shut up.

I was wondering the same thing, where were all these bleeding hearts when Theta was getting bashed? Now that everyone has had a taste of the poison, make a pact and do something.
If everyone on these other threads hate the ranking and the tiers then GET OFF GR, Quit Feeding the Trolls!! If no one came on here then the invisible 'moms' wont have anything to talk about or anyone to talk to.
Truth is, not everyone on this site is a mom or a troll, there are plenty of actives on here and they are the ones hiding and spewing hate. Then they feel a little guilty once someone gets hurt.
So, hey all you loud mouths - Walk the Talk! otherwise Greek life as you all know it or think you know it is about to change for everyone!!!

Can you imagine if everyone refused to rank houses and just let everyone decide for themselves where they felt more comfortable. Everyone having pride that they are in the best house FOR THEM and still have love and respect for all the houses and made friends in every house. And we all lifted and supported each other without the need to feel superior to each other.

Meet with the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs and Panhellenic in the morning to determine how to help keep the chapter on campus and go into discussion with Theta national as a united front.
Prove that we have Panhellenic love on our campus, but then attitudes will need to change.

I was wondering if Panhellenic was involved in the decision to close Theta. I hope not. Theta had a good recruitment this year, the numbers were lower but the quality was good. Hopefully Panhellenic will be willing to facilitate a plan to save Theta.

The more people who are wiling to stand up for Theta in the Greek community the better. Having people constantly say negative things about them hurt them so much. They can't win this fight on their own. We can and should do better by our panhellenic sisters.

Just an idea but:
we need the heads of all sororitys and frats to go to pan and theta nationals and stand up for them and then what if we all offer to do something that helps everyones house succeed and maybe pair sororitys like sis's. possible example: KD/theta, DDD/adpi, Chio/aopi, dg/a phi, phi mu/pi phi that way we are all looking out for each other and supporting each other being successful? If we stop competing and start respecting and supporting each other, maybe they will stay and other may want to come here.

You are right. They can't win this fight on their own, but if each house will commit to help and follow through our Greek Community can show the power, positivity and love we have for each other.
Strong women helping strong women! Imagine the power we have to stop the ugliness and show who we truly are as sorority women! I would love that, wouldn't you?

Y'all as a theta this would actually mean so much to us! Thank you for making my time in greek life a great time. When I got the email about us closing I balled my eyes out in class. Seeing that people care and do want us here on campus makes my heart happy!

I can't believe you received your closure notice by email. Your Nationals should have faced all of you and explained everything in great detail. I am really sorry this has happened.

What an absolutely crappy thing for your national to do. They couldn't be bothered to send someone in person, or at least a Skype or a conference call?

#5 by: Who
Who is willing to stand up and fight to keep Theta on campus? Who is willing to stop demeaning and belittling Theta on this site? Who is willing to tell our mothers and grandmothers that "tiers" aren't important to out generation? Who is willing to respect and recognize that our sororities have more similarities than differences? Are we, as women, willing to step up and respect each other, help each other and grab the reins of leadership that we all know we can do?
Have you ever wondered if you "have what it takes" to bring about change? I know I have. Now is our time to answer the question. And the answer is YES, we are strong and caring. Right now, we have the chance to prove that our Greek Community is strong and that we are capable of, and determined to do, the right thing, because that is who we are!
Imagine, we can do this! Perhaps we will even be an inspiration to a college where this same situation could happen. We need to be strong and show that we "have what it takes" to do the right thing. And I can say this because I know we have it. Imagine taking this skill set and accomplishment out to the business world. Now is our time!
I would love to see the older sororities on campus quickly build a coalition and bring all of sororities and fraternities together to produce an action plan to present to Theta national and Ole Miss.

Can we please all wake up and realize the wrong in how we have all been and step up and make a real change. Can we all unite and try to convince theta national to rethink this and let them stay and can we implement things like pairing houses as sister houses to help support each house or something that shows we all really do value and respect each house and want to fight to make all houses successful and not want to compete with each other in catty ways.

And—assuming by some miracle Theta national can be persuaded not to close the chapter—who is willing to NOT go back to business as usual and start bashing them again?
It's heartening to see the support, but along with other posters, I'm skeptical because it wasn't there when it mattered.

If you are truly serious, then carry this movement to Twitter and FB to get some traction. Write letters, emails, make phone calls. But first, encourage all the houses to blow the roof off the final Theta Encore and raise even more money for CASA than you did last year. Good luck all you beautiful souls and even if you are unable to #SaveTheta, be kinder to one another and stand up to the people who try to bring down any house on that campus. Let’s learn from this and empower one another!
