Thankfully chapter closures are becoming pretty rare (and probably risk management more than low numbers), so not the concern it might have been pre-RFM. But hopefully the girl who pledged the struggling chapter would be welcomed by some other chapter. I'd love to see panhel opening quota additions for the other chapters to invite those few girls who were on their list but not quite high enough to make the cut. We've discussed over and over again that most girls who get cut weren't cut because they weren't liked; they just weren't liked ENOUGH. And at a school where quota is 50 and the closing chapter got 10 girls, most if not all of those 10 girls were probably somewhere reasonably high on plenty of other chapters' lists. And the girl who bailed on her MRABA, as far as I'm concerned, she can suck it and wait for next year. But that's where I think you should suffer your consequences. The girl who swallowed hard and accepted that bid should be rewarded with a second chance. The girl who didn't take the only option she had shouldn't get the same reward.

But I don't think any of that applies to real life. But who knows? Maybe by discussing it here it will occur to a panhellenic when faced with this problem to take care of those girls who are in a tough situation due to no fault of their own.
