I don't mean to offend anyone or make any allegations, but lately, I've heard of at least 3 chapters of Tau Kappa Epsilon that have gone around International HQs and/or the University in order to keep a chapter established... the first was my own campus, where they formed a colony outside the University's expansion period (just before we opened it actually and they knew we were opening for expansion soon). The chapter got really out of hand and had a lot of sanctions put on them for various reasons. They made it into the top 10 for our formal expansion process, but I don't know if they'll make it all the way.
I also heard about an east coast chapter (can't remember which one- someone on GC talked to me about it), who did nearly the same thing. Both of these cases are how the chapter is affiliated with the IH, but not with the University, I suppose. And now there's this one, who is affiliated with the University (somehow) but not with the IH. Not to be accusatory because I'm sure it happens to other chapters all over and they just aren't talked about, but it just strikes me as odd that three chapters of TKE in the past year have had issues like this.
