I know of a local that hazes very severely. Their charter was pulled by the school...but they don't care. They initiate members every semester, they have a house with letters on it next to the school [none of the greek houses are on campus there], they participate in Greek Week, etc. With locals, as long as they and their alum consider them a fraternity, a charter sure doesn't mean much.

I believe when PA referred to "closing chapters" she meant the Greek Council can close or suspend a group.
As for the local in your example, why are the other groups at the school letting them participate in Greek week? Sounds like some enabling going on there. Is this a school with all locals?

Those are NOT locals. Those are underground chapters. This isn't even apples and oranges, it's apples and hippos.
