Beta Theta Pi has closed their chapter at the University of Illinois. The chapter had been suspended in the fall. After only 12 members chose to go through a membership review, their national officers felt that this was not enough to sustain the chapter.

"A new sorority will be joining campus in spring 2019, the Baylor Panhellenic Council unanimously approved Tuesday afternoon."

I know who I hope applies . . .

It appears that ASA has suspended its chapter at Penn State until at least 2022.

According to sororitytwitter and one NPC group's official website it was a quick, and duplicate, decision for both the above campuses (but IDK how to link).

It's all over Greekrank, which as much as we disparage is usually pretty accurate on chapter closures because their collegians are told and then talk sometimes before the national org announces.

Has Colorado made an announcement yet? I know Colorado State chose Phi Mu but I couldn't find a decision about UC-Boulder yet.

Phi Mu's official fb page lists both announcements.

What's the housing situation at UColorado and Colorado State?

My daughter is friends with two women that just pledged. Coming directly from their members.

That's a huge coup for Phi Mu, starting two chapters at the two biggest schools in a state with no prior presence. Congratulations to them!
