What makes me the most sad about this is the bullying and sheer vile that all of our chapter members are enduring and a University that has seemingly washed its hands of it.

Looking at WUSL's Fall '19 Greek Grade Report, the sororities had membership numbers from 93-133 range. This was before new members joined in Spring 2020.

That's quite a drop, even with the normal graduation numbers.

Not to mention, that if Greek Life dies, the Greek Life admin have to look for jobs, and with Wash U on their resume', a new job might be difficult to find.

I wondered when they would do that! DPhiE has been gone for a year now and the house is empty.
