The closed schools with chapters...
I recently decided to put together a list of the closed school which have had chapters of Alpha Phi Omega. Pretty interesting researching what happened to the schools and whether they just went under, got bought out or somehow merged with another institutions...
Alpha Phi Omega just chartered a chapter at Roosevelt University and the fraternity left it up to the Petitioning Group (Colony) whether they wanted the chapter letters from Central YMCA college (almost all of the faculty, staff and students of Central YMCA College left to form what became Roosevelt U.) or if they wanted to be counted as a new chapter. They chose to take the letters from Central YMCA College. It helped the transition that the only alumnus of Central YMCA College that the National Fraternity knows is alive is a former National President of APO and he was *heavily* involved in the extension effort...

Well, I don't know if these schools had chapters, but they did close:
Parsons College folded
NYU closed just the Heights campus.
Carnegie Tech and Mellon merged
Case and Western Reserve merged

Reason: add states to the other ones that aren't clear.

Westminster Choir College didn't close. It merged with Rider College, now Rider Universiry, and still exists as a distinct part of Rider U.

I know that and mention it in my writeup, but *right now*, the way that the student activities setup is at Rider University, only *one* charter would be able to be active there at a time. For example, Circle K actually has a president and advisor at Rider U.'s main campus and a president and advisor at the WCC campus, but it is only one Circle K chapter. OTOH, the chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota sorority is based over at the WCC campus.
*If* things shift so that WCC is treated as a separate campus for the purposes of student organizations, then I could see that chapter coming back, but *not* as things are set up today.

Sorry, I didn't type that fully. The chapter at the closed institution was at the Evening Division of Kean University, the chapter at the Day Division is considered to be inactive, not closed.

That's always an interesting occurrence. When my Alma Mater closed its night school, the Greek chapters there were considered independent of the day school chapters and, thus, shut down. So, the only active chapter of the local fraternity on the campus now is the Delta chapter.

Question - what would cause a school to close, and how would they go about the process? What happens to students already enrolled?

Do a web of GC search of Lambuth College. It closed last year and had some active sorority chapters at that time.

From what I remember hearing, Lambuth was a church-related school and the church could not afford to continue to operate it. But that's just what I heard; I don't know for sure.
I imagine the active sorority members became alumnae, unless they transferred to another institution with their GLO and affiliated with that chapter.

True, but both the Main campus and the Parks College campus had separate chapters of Alpha Phi Omega. The Main Campus chapter continues under those letters, how else are you going to describe the charter at Parks College? While Parks College may still exist, as a separate institution capable of having GLO charters, it is closed.

The chapter is dormant and likely to remain so because the host institution has merged with a different institution and is no longer a separate institution for the purpose of hosting chapters of GLOs.
