The way it was explained to me was that, the sorority which is struggling has a talk with the Greek Advisor, setting a time at which the chapter will return - usually 4-6 years later. In other words, they are already promised the chance to recolonize prior to going inactive.

That way, the people who have preconceived notions about the GLO will (hopefully!) have graduated, and the GLO can start with a clean slate. I would imagine - but I don't know for sure - that the rules regarding recolonization would come in to play in this manner.

I also know of two other GLOs who are using this approach, and I think you'll see more of it. After all, the GLO has already invested in a house & the accroutements; why should they completely dump everything? I see it as a win-win situation for everyone.
