I was under the impression that AOII at Purdue was closing down. I know they are definitely not participating in formal rush in January. I think that they are recolonizing and will probably become active in 2-3 years from now. AZD did the same thing 2 years ago. They had advertisements on buses and everything about joining AZD.
I know for a fact that their new members (AOII) had the choice of initiating and then going alum or ending their pledgeship and seeking out a new organization. 2 of their new members accepted bids from my house at the end of the school year. I know most of their pledge class wanted to become initiated and then go alum. But the 2 girls who are joining my house really wanted to be in a sorority, live in the house, etc. so I am glad that they are going to be able to do that.
I hate to hear about any house closing down, but this really isn't closing. I think they are coming back... and I am sure that it will make them much stronger in the long run.
