A national sorority has announced that its Harvard University chapter will close, in what appears to be the first dissolution of a student organization in response to the Ivy League school’s adoption two years ago of penalties for members of single-gender student clubs.
The Zeta Phi-Cambridge Area chapter of the Delta Gamma organization voted in May to relinquish its charter, and after a 60-day comment period, leaders of the national organization voted unanimously to close the chapter, according to a statement.
A Delta Gamma spokeswoman and leaders of the Harvard chapter could not be reached for comment Sunday evening.
The closing, which was first reported in the Harvard Crimson, comes as the result of a Harvard policy that punishes students who join single-gender clubs, fraternities, and sororities by barring them from leading campus organizations and sports teams and from receiving recommendations from the dean for prestigious Rhodes and Marshall scholarships.
Harvard adopted the policy in May 2016 in an attempt to address issues raised by elite all-male final clubs, which administrators have blamed for rowdy parties that have led to underage drinking and sexual assault, and for fostering a divisive culture.

Harvard University is becoming an enemy of the American people.
Cultural Marxism.
Do the Rump Rangers and Muffin Munchers have their own sororities and fraternities?
That said, forcing end of single-gender sororities completely undermines their whole existence. Are they doing the same with race, ethnic, religious, and others? Slow death by a thousand cuts. Instead of this painful course, get rid of them. I agree with the national organization decision to close the Harvard chapter.
You do understand that working your way through college is not limited to folks who don’t belong to a fraternity or sorority, don’t you?
(1) a mark made by burning with a hot iron to attest manufacture or quality or to designate ownership, a mark put on criminals with a hot iron: a mark of disgrace
(2) a class of goods identified by name as the product of a single firm or manufacturer
Cultural Marxism.
In their “wisdom” they became as fools...
This is what liberal (communist) insanity looks like....and it will continually get worse until they learn to fear rotary wing aircraft again.
“Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!”
Close Harvard.
Harvard is not concerned about educating, they seem to be inclined to indoctrinating.
They are thought control commissars.
didn’t have these problems when it was an all-male school. Just sayin’
No, I don’t. A kid working full time and going to school full time, has no time or interest in them. Sororities and fraternities offer nothing academic to college experience. Partying and other BS is about it. Often just a bunch of rich kids with silver spoons in their mouths.
Yes they do.
They are called The Administration and The Faculty.
It has been for a long time. This book is from 1978.
