During the 1970s most of the Fraternity's collegiate chapters went inactive, leaving only the original Alpha. This decline is attributed to two major factors: a national decline in professional fraternities and a negative perception generally of the foreign service. During the Vietnam War, foreign service was closely associated in many minds with contemporary U.S. foreign policy, which was protested against at many member institutions. After some attempts during the 1990s, several of these defunct chapters were revived in the 2000s. The for 30 years only chapter of the foreign service sorority, Alpha, at Georgetown University, had also gone defunct, but was revived in 1990 after a ten year period of inactivity, and then revived again in 1998 after still another five year period of inactivity. In the summer of 2003 the first reactivation of a dormant chapter, Epsilon chapter at UC Berkeley, occurred, along with installation there of a second chapter of the Sorority. Soon following were also re-activations of Eta, Pi, Gamma, and Mu. In November 2008, a brand new chapter, Psi chapter, was installed at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, and in September 2016 a second brand new chapter, Chi chapter was installed at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
