Is this the final colony from a stack begun 6 years ago?

Yes. Kappa Delta and Alpha Chi Omega were the other 2 chapters that were part of the stack.

The University of Nevada-Las Vegas has suspended Delta Zeta until at least 2020. Suspension is due to RMF.

I've never heard the term emerging chapter used. Is this some new terminology that's being pushed out?

Ah, we're returning to the days of politically correct terminology! Isn't this newer phraseology what collegiate women within the sorority system on several campuses demanded from their panhellenics and administrators last Fall?

Please let us know when the campus makes a final decision. It will be great if they finally get another NPC group there!

The Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter at Harvard University has decided to disaffiliate from their national organization and go co-ed.

This decision was made in the face of Harvard's previous declaration that members of single-sex organizations would not be allowed to hold university leadership positions or be recommended for some honors. Women's organizations have been given a 3-5 year reprieve on these sanctions, but the men's groups have not.

^ This whole deal is such incredible BS and the women getting a 5 year waiver is even more BS. I hope AEPi makes a giant stink about this.
