At any rate...it might have been better to close the chapter completely rather than to cause a divide in the sisterhood like this. The 25% left (who I'm betting are fairly new sisters) have a huge task ahead of them to rebuild the chapter, and I would hope that they get above and beyond the normal amount of help to do so.

You may find the rule stupid, but a chapter that is a risk management problem is an insurance nightmare for the entire organization. Someone gets hurt at this party, and AST becomes liable regardless of where the party was held and who supposedly sponsored it. As to whether or not the chapter should have been closed, NYU is a very valuable asset for an organization, and I'm sure they will try everything they can to make this chapter survive. I don't blame them for trying. With that being said, that doesn't include letting the chapter members threaten the welfare of members or the reputation of the organization.
