I know that this happened with three chapters at my alma mater (one of which did ultimately close).

I know that the year I went through recruitment, I found it very off-putting to meet the women from the near-by chapter, because while they could talk about XYZ nationally, they were always referring to specific things they did at their own chapter, which clearly wasn't the case for the chapter at my alma mater.
