My chapter is a fully chartered chapter. We are paid visits by our HQ officials. We send in our dues, reports, etc. We have an organized alumnae advisory committee. We are 100% recognized by our HQ's.

I feel that the underground implies that you are operating in secret. While the GLOs are not recognized by my university. No group is operating in secret. The university knows we are there, and as long as we follow university policy, they cannot touch us.
Chapters are not underground with relation to the parent organization. They are underground with relation to the host institution.

If there is some defining relationship between your chapter and your university (i.e. "as long as we follow university policy, they cannot touch us") then you are not underground.
