The university cannot legally stop them from starting up another chapter. They could own them in a lawsuit of the university tried.

Well, I am the Greek Advisor at SIUE and let me tell you this situation has been one big nightmare from the go. Fortunately this has served as a wake up call for a lot of our chapters and started some dialogue at the chapter and council level about hazing. One of the members has pled guilty but the legal process is still dragging out on the others. As a result, the University still hasn't had the formal disciplinary hearings on the members (at the request of the State's Attorney's office) so the chapter and its members are on interrum suspension. But the higher ups here are seeking permanent suspension of Phi Beta Sigma at SIUE. The ironic part is that we have had several members of Sigma transfer here from other schools this year, and they don't understand why the University won't let them start up another chapter!
