Ok, question (potential hypothetical option)...
So, her PNM goes through recruitment, gets a bid to this chapter in question, decides she likes it enough to give it a shot. The chapter is in the dire straights that the OP thinks they are. Could the PNM stay in the chapter and choose not to initiate, but continue her pledge period to the next semester to see what happens? This way, she's not TOTALLY committed to the chapter should they close, but she's still giving them a shot to see what happens....after a year, she should have a good idea of whether the chapter should be viable enough to continue.
As someone who's chapter closed the semester after I was initiated, I really kinda wish I knew how dire our situation was before I initiated. I don't know that I would have done anything different, but I felt cheated not knowing.
