By the time it reaches a university cease and desist stage, and a withdrawal from rush per headquarters, many solutions have been tried by local advisors and national officers to right the ship. I have to believe that this was a difficult decision and one made under careful consideration.

That's not necessarily true. At IU, cease and desist is the first step after a complaint is received. Then an investigation is conducted and the chapter either goes off C&D with no issues or a punishment is doled out. Punishment can be anything from probation to suspension. There have been a few houses this year who ended up on C&D who where released with no discipline. And a few who are "no longer with us."
However, the fact that nationals put an end to rush is a problem. There is obviously something very serious. I am hearing it has to do with a fraternity who recently expelled half of its house. It sounds like the incident was a while ago and is just coming to light as part of that investigation.
