Maybe you guys should band together and petition your nationals to let you guys rebuild the chapter. Of course, things may be way past that stage. Best of luck.

My thoughts exactly. Inat'l must have discovered severe hazing and not just piddly stuff like the OP suggested. In my personal experience I've never heard of a chapter getting shut down over minor hazing. Put on probation, including social, and chapter wide education programming yes, but never losing a charter. I suspect HQ also discovered little remorse or willingness to change.
For your sake beautifulnite and those who wanted to change things with you, I'm sorry it came to this. I'm sorry you were not able to change your other sisters minds. I'm sorry that the hazers were not willing to realize they were putting their new members' lives, their own membership and the chapter's charter in jeopardy.
I know it's little consolation to you, but your Inat'l must protect the organization as a whole. The actions of one chapter can have severe ramifications for the whole org. Hazing can be dangerous and we must protect our newest members. Lawsuits can cost big bucks and the negative publicity that always comes about paints the entire org as guilty.
