The thing is, that one incident might be true, and it may have led to the charter being pulled for that chapter, but nobody else knows what ELSE was going on with that chapter or how long it had been going on. It isn't as though GLOs advertise to all their IFC/NPC buddies that they are on alert, probation, being watched carefully, etc. That's between the chapters and their headquarters. I've never seen a chapter (my personal experience here, not heresay) that we didn't put huge resources into trying to turn things before it closed. For all you know, that fraternity was on probation and had already had upteen warnings.
The fact that we closed our Alpha chapter and our Chi chapter (Michigan State) at almost the same time speaks volumes.

ETA: We've only closed chapters because of low membership over the last several years. When a chapter has a house that houses 60 and has 5 members and you've tried everything to turn it around, you're out of options.
