Campus recognition doesn't affect whether or not you get sued, but it can affect whether or not you win.
If the campus does not recognize the chapter because they engage in dangerous behavior, the national organization is rolling the dice by keeping them open.
Say someone gets hurt. The parent's sue the GLO. A GLO's best defense is "we didn't know it was going on...we did our best to ensure that it didn't happen...etc." If the campus doesn't recognize the group, then it's pretty obvious to the jury that somebody knew what was going on in the group.
The GLO's defense is shot. Hence, lots of scary lawsuits that the GLO will lose.
Getting sued is expensive. Getting sued and losing could break you.
