The chapter closing may be a very recent occurrence, but the events leading up to it should not be. In my experience, a sorority will pour as much time and resources into the chapter before pulling out as possible. I've seen it locally on my campus as an undergraduate and as a alum when one of the chapters we helped to support were going through a rough time. In both cases, numerous workshops, events, help from officers, recruitment specialists, risk management personal etc were dispatched to help the chapter. In both cases, the College Panhellenic was also kept very abreast of the situation. I can only speculate, as of course I don't know the dealings on this campus, but I wonder if the decision was made over the course of the summer and when CPH arrived back it hit them. CPH usually aren't the best at communicating over breaks. I mean, heck, the campus voted to expand right before winter break and we decided what national to affiliate with over winter break and when I showed up to the first CPH meeting as our delegate, they looked dumbfounded at me and asked if we had picked a sorority yet. Our Greek Life Adivsor had contacted the CPH president, who never bother to return the phone call.
