Very confusing if you say the University booted them; or stopped recognizing them - and they "continued" to meet and stuff.
So, if your chapter gets shut down by nationals or the campus itself, and you continue to meet with your brothers; hang out, party, etc. That counts as staying operational and alive? That would mean pretty much every chapter booted is still "operational" in a sense.

If the GLO's HQ recognizes the chapter (not the chapter stating such, only HQ) then the chapter may claim to be in continuous operation.
Continuous operation:
GLO HQ continuous recognition of chapter / University continuous recognition of chapter
GLO HQ continuous recognition of chapter / University does not recognition chapter at any/some point in time
Non-continuous operation:
GLO HQ does not recognition chapter at any/some point in time / University continuous recognition of chapter
GLO HQ does not recognition chapter at any/some point in time / University does not recognition chapter at any/some point in time
I posted this question before, and sense no one replied to it, I'll ask again. Would a chapter that either reorganized or is recolonize - yet never closed per say (i.e. the charter is never pulled) - be considered as continuous?
If there are any hold over members, then of course the chapter is still active. What I wounder about is something along this line.
A chapter has all their current active members (i.e. still attending the college) go alum at the end of say the spring 2007 semester. Then in the fall of 2007, there is a new pledge class and members. Would this be considered continuous?
ETA: Added "some" to the following: "...does not recognition chapter at any point in time" such that it now reads "does not recognition chapter at any/some point in time". I didn't intend the emphasis to be any, but some.
