You're quite correct, Thomas.

However, 2 years is not nearly long enough between a charter surrender and a recolonization. 30 years may not be long enough. Sororities have a much harder time fighting rumors and changing public perception. A fraternity chapter can go from the cellar to the penthouse (so to speak) in a couple of years with no harm to the guys' reputations.
Women have much, much longer memories.
