I think it can be simple Darwinism and evolution. The weak or old will eventually die off and new chapters will be tested to see if they are strong enough to survive. When the old, long standing chapters die off, and each and every one will eventually at some point in time, it's a matter of HQ to start the evolution process to restart it into something that works.
Then down the road some 50 or 75 years, it will die off again and HQ will be responsible for the evolution.
If a chapter is weak or not doing well, sometimes it is better to let it die off and re-establish it later on. Sometimes it is just too difficult to make a chapter change, other times it is not. Sometimes it is the university or college that changes and the environment around the frat that changes. In that case there is little anyone can do, do you let the species die out and start a new species or try to nurse it back to health?
