It isn't just misconduct that can get a chapter closed.
We have some issues at Cal right now that are related to numbers; basically the membership numbers fell and there was a great deal of pressure applied to "fill the house". At the urging of some alumni the Fraternity was presented as the cheapest place to live. The alumni were focused on the business side, not the Fraternity side. The rent got paid but it morphed into a boarding house with a funny name.
We are trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat right now and keep Mu open. It is going to be a tough slog and we may not succeed. One issue is that we have to keep the alumni from screwing up our work. The alumni still do not understand that they were a part of the problem. The undergrads see this, but some alumni don't
If the alumni have a perpetual chip on their shoulders with respect to Indianapolis and the staff then recolonizing gets to be far more difficult.
