I imagine the active sorority members became alumnae, unless they transferred to another institution with their GLO and affiliated with that chapter.

I was president of my sorority when Lambuth closed. We all became alums together. Overall it was a very sad process, honestly. Lambuth had been operating in debt for a long while and finally realized that the debt was growing too quickly to overcome, so they really had no choice but to close. None of our girls affiliated with another chapter, but I know some girls from other organizations joined new chapters. Lambuth did offer summer classes until they closed so all of our seniors, some of our juniors, and even two of our sophomores who were ahead on credit hours were able to graduate.
