In general, why would chapters do this?
What are some of the reasons that a group would leave and then recolonize that quickly?
I understand when something was wrong in the chapter, and the national group wanted to let a certain group of people graduate before they re-colonized. (UGA has had some fraternities approach serious hazing penalities that way) But in those case the group was off campus for four or five years.
But when you leave and return in 18 months, what are you trying to do? Get the fresh start of a colony in terms of rush, but not lose the capital you might have established in terms of housing?
