The sorority was a recognized colonized chapter but got penalized for some time of infraction. Now this sorority has a house that is considered off campus, freshman have to live in the dorms and can not live in the sorority house.
So, here is the question:
Can this sorority members
1) live in the house,
2) still behave as a chapter as in have in house sisterhood events, ect, even though they may not particpate in campus activities like greek week (for example)
3) have ritual (again in house) say like members going through active to alumni ceremony.
Would these activities be considered an underground chapter, cause they are not recognized by the university, until their probation is over?

If the house is off campus and not recognized as official sorority housing by the school, anyone can live there that the sorority desires to have live there.
As for 2 & 3 - is the chapter being recolonized? Is the sorority OK with its nationals but not the school? I mean, the main thing here is whether the sorority's HQ still says they are an active chapter. I doubt they would let them take members or do Greek week if the school says no, but they would probably still be doing everything else (meetings, ritual etc) if the national considers them an active chapter.
