Is what you're saying is that as your group closes old chapters, it is opening new ones? I would say the two probably aren't related. A lot of Nationals will close chapters, not due to low numbers, but due to hazing, risk management issues, and the like. Most nationals will go in and work with chapters who need recruitment and membership help before they close the chapter. After all, all chapters are an integral part of the revenue chain of the sorority.
