The alpha sororities, most of them, left in the 80's. This was before quota was set the way it is now. The other groups were getting large pledge classes and the alpha groups were not. Plus there wasn't much panhellenic spirit and folks talked about the "alpha syndrome" and it contributed to folks not wanting to join and they couldn't compete. It had nothing to do with integration. AGD and ADPi left mid 80s, AOPi and Alpha Phi left early 80s, AZD left late 80s. ATO left LSU in the 90s. After the Lambda Chi and KA houses burned, all houses had to be up to fire code. The ATO chapter at the time was small and I don't think they could afford to fix their house to get it to code. Their house was actually torn down (it was next to the TKE house). This is what some alums told me.
