Funnyface - I've seen both surrenders and withdrawls. The only surrender I'm aware of was at the University of Maryland - bad situation, the whole Greek system being forced into seriously limited pledge periods, etc (that's another subject), but the chapter decided they couldn't handle the political/legal struggle between the school and the General Fraternity and they gave up.
I've seen lots of charter revocations - for hazing, alcohol violations, grades, etc. Normally, the members are retired into alumni status, all are allowed to graduate, and then we consider recolonization after 3 to 4 years.
