I have heard of national (yes, it is national, not nationals...there is only one national for each group...) going into a situation and giving the members alum status and then reorganizing the chapter with new members. This is what I have heard called "Housecleaning" and it supposedly happened to the Sig Ep chapter on my campus right before I got here. I have heard of it happening other places too. Sometimes it happens when the sorority can function on that campus, but the members have run it into the ground, as in multiple members having judiciary hearings, out of control finances, a chapter full of bad apples, etc. They feel that there is still a market for that org. and so they reorganize it from the ground up as a means of restablishing with a fresh and strong foundation. Sometimes that doesn't pan out though.
