Because they decided from the outset (with apparently very little interaction with the women in question) that a chapter full of girls who happen to like black makeup etc would not be committed to their values, excellent fundraisers, great students or otherwise good sisters. As I said, if they don't go all out and buy a house they will never fill - if in effect they are OK with being a smaller chapter, much in the way that SDT does on several campi - who cares? It seems that 1 and 2 were far more concerned with initial appearances than with what the women would actually give back to the group.

Was this alum a national councillor/decisionmaker of any sort at the time? Or just someone shooting off her mouth and clutching her pearls? If this was really the case, the group would have probably bait-and-switched before they even chartered, rather than waiting for the horrible Bauhaus* fans to even sport their letters for a millisecond.
