I can reply with respect to three different fraternities on three different campuses that should be applicable to sororities as well.
Background: One chapter was on probation for grades, another for a "prank" that was not *appreciated* by the host institution, and the other because of a "minor infraction". I don't recall what it was but most likely either alcohol or hazing related. Each chapter was put on "social probation" by their HQ, their university and their IFC. In two cases, they owned their houses, but were on campus. The other the house was off campus.
A. Yes. In each case, the chapter was allowed to live in their house. One chapter, which didn't have one at the time, had a "house director" (house mother perhaps) appointed by the university and was paid for by the chapter. Not sure if the others were required as well or if they already had a house director.

2) still behave as a chapter as in have in house *brotherhood* events, ect, even though they may not particpate in campus activities like greek week (for example)
|
A. Yes. As part of their social probation, they could not have any parties or events at their house at all. And had limited "guest hours" imposed. And as you noted, they could not participate in any campus activities as well.
However...
The chapters were allowed to have limited activities & raise money for their philanthropy. The activities were limited to service.
One chapter was allowed some limited house events. I think it was for parents weekend and for alumni at homecoming and their founder's day.
And one chapter had a tradition where alumni hosted a dinner at a local banquet hall or restaurant. Since this was an "up and up" kind of event - parents, university officials, other invited Greeks, community folk in attendance, i.e. well behaved - approval was given for the chapter to attend.

Yes. All had meetings, ritual etc. and were able to attend their conferences etc.
