The status of DU returning to McGill Updated

On March 7th, 2002, members of the DU McGill Alumni Association, a representative from DU International and about 20 McGill undergrads met to discuss re-establishing our chapter at McGill. The meeting was highly successful and DU has officially formed an interest group which will lead toward re-colonization and ultimately re-chartering.

September 27, 2002: Repeated attempts to get in touch with the leaders-to-be of the new DU have proven unsuccessful.
