I just heard about this from my best friend who is a Clemson Theta, and that chapter is the other chapter I preffed. The women in the chapter then and still are lovely people, but when Pi Phi colonized and nearly immediately got up to total I knew Theta was doomed. They’d been taking a smaller and smaller share of quota every year I was on campus and after, and I don’t think there was ever a sustainable way for them to grow. Yes 140+ seems like a lot but when other chapters are mostly over 200 it’s much harder to operate on the same scale as the other Panhellenic groups. Campus culture was very unkind to them as well.
I feel very bad for the new members who were initiated before this decision was made, because the writing had been on the wall for a while and I very highly doubt the choice to close was made just this week. I do think waiting four or five years before returning will be highly beneficial for Clemson Theta.
