The National Council finally backed down and reversed their decision to revoke our charter. We defended this legacy against their short-sighted bureaucratic nonsense and we won. Stay sharp because we need to hold them to their word while we rebuild.

We the undersigned are proud alumnae of Theta Tau. We have signed below to express our disappointment with the news that the Theta Tau charter will be revoked at the end of the current semester and also to ask for reconsideration of this decision.

We are real, strong, women. Many Theta Tau alumnae became lawyers, business women, communications managers, artists, mothers, and wives. We carry the lessons of unity and loyalty, learned through our time at Theta Tau, like a badge of honor as they guide our choices as adults. The current women of Theta Tau deserve the same experience. Rutgers University is a diverse melting pot of beautiful, smart women and Theta Tau is reflective of this environment. The chapter is a vital part of the Greek community. 

We understand that much thought was given to the decision made by the National Council and we acknowledge that the chapter has had its challenges over the years. The alumnae of Theta Tau are fully committed to supporting the chapter and ensuring its success as a thriving chapter on campus. We are capable of guiding the collegiates as they improve their chapter management, communication and recruiting efforts, and we intend to use all of our resources to ensure the success of the chapter. Many of us have remained local and can be active participants in the efforts to improve the chapter.

Theta Tau celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and we feel that our alumnae have extensive experience that can be leveraged to revitalize the chapter. We hope that you will take this into consideration when reviewing your decision to revoke the Theta Tau charter

Thank you

The National Council is still ignoring us and hoping we just fade away into the background. They are dead wrong because we are not going anywhere and we will keep putting the pressure on until they explain why they chose to destroy this chapter.

The administration thought we would just fold and watch them tear down our legacy without a word. They were wrong because this surge of support proves that we are a force they cannot simply ignore or silence.

Was proud to be a member and am proud to support the women still there. Give them a chance.

This really saddens me. I learned so much during my time with the chapter and met my best friends there. Please reconsider.

My sister was part of this group and she had such a great experience. Don't end a legacy over some drama.

BRING IT BACK. This is so unfair to all the women currently involved who didnt have a say in anything.

Theta Tau shaped me into the professional I am today. It would be a huge shame to see it go away for good.

Ridiculous decision. The school needs to stop punishing everyone for the mistakes of a few. Keep the charter!
