Controversy

In 2006, the Delta Zeta sorority was reorganized after the national organization conducted a membership review, reducing 23 of the 35 current members (including the chapter president) to alumna status and giving them six weeks to vacate the sorority house. Delta Zeta ( ΔΖ) is a college Sorority founded on October 24, 1902, at Miami University in Oxford Ohio. Delta Zeta ( ΔΖ) is a college Sorority founded on October 24, 1902, at Miami University in Oxford Ohio. Of the 12 remaining members, 6 chose to take alumna status. There were also three girls who were off-campus that were never granted a membership review and 4 who left early because they did not like the tone of the meeting in September. Although the explanation given by Delta Zeta Nationals was that the decisions were based on commitment, the evicted members hold that they were forced to take alumna status because of their less than popular image on campus. Delta Zeta Nationals contends that the women could have challenged their alumna status recommendation, while the girls hold that they were explicitly told by Nationals representatives that the decision was final and they would be deactivated if they were to challenge anything. [5] On Monday, March 12, 2007, DePauw President Robert G. Bottoms announced that the University was beginning the process of severing ties with Delta Zeta's national organization, effective at the end of the 2006-7 academic year. Bottoms was quoted as saying, "I came to the conclusion that our approaches to these issues are just incompatible. "[6]
