Back in the 90's there was a local sorority at Hopkins that was pretty much unregulated so the university forced them to affiliate with a national sorority. They chose Theta and all the girls in that local sorority were absorbed into a new Theta chapter at Hopkins, and the local sorority ceased to exist. This caused some friction for years and years because the attitude in the chapter was always that they should be allowed to do what they wanted and Theta nationals was imposing rules on them. They became one of the top sororities at Hopkins but were always seen as the wildest group. In spring 2009 they were shut down and their charter was pulled because they were breaking a lot of rules, mostly around alcohol and partying. Their last pledge class from that spring was never initiated and some of them went on to join other sororities (Kappa and the new Pi Phi colony that fall, I think) after Theta shut down. The older Theta members that were kicked out of Theta when it was shut down formed IX, which is still ongoing and is unregulated by the school. It has no affiliation with any national group. After all the original Thetas from the chapter that was shut down graduated, Theta nationals recolonized at JHU with a totally new group of girls. None of the IX members are in the new Theta, they are a totally different group now. So, yes, Theta was here before, but now they are recolonized. Nationals basically hit the reset button because the old Theta had a bunch of bad apples.
