I am guessing Undergraound when not recognized by the HQ first and then the school is secondary.

Historically, it's an underground chapter when chartered by HQ and kept secret from the school.
It's an unrecognized chapter when chartered by HQ and not recognized as a student organization by the school.
These days, a group of people posing as members of a fraternity but not recognized as a chapter by HQ is sometimes called an "underground chapter" or a "rogue chapter," but this would seem to be a misnomer since it is not a chapter at all. It's a group of posers; at best, a local passing itself off as a chapter of a national fraternity.
