I read through this pretty quickly, it's a very interesting situation for sure. The thing I kept thinking about was: "if my chapter were struggling and needed help, I would know for sure!" As a recent alumna, I try to stay current on what is going on. I feel like that is true now, since I didn't graduate so long ago, but maybe in a few more years, it might be less true, who knows? But I would hope that there would be some sort of reach out to alumnae in an effort to get the help the chapter needed. I don't recall if anyone mentioned that happened (on either campus), but if I wouldn't place all the blame on the chapter if I were finding out too late.
As to the comments on joining an org, then disaffiliating and joining another-well if it's against the rules that's one thing. Seems like no rules were broken from what I've read. If it's seems unethical that is another.
