In contrast, if a sorority closes at a school, if it does return (which doesn't happen all the time), it doesn't happen for at LEAST 10 years of the original closure. Why is that?

Because the local Panhellenic has to be open for expansion for us to return to a campus. We can return within one year (which is usually a bad idea because old members are still around, reputations are still around, etc) or we wait until it's our turn to try to recolonize. Frequently you still go through the same process as an expansion, with sororities presenting on campus and one being chosen. Fraternities don't have that restriction.
