xp2k we know you didn't mean to offend anyone...you were really just asking a question and clearly stated that you were not sure. No offense taken here. Obviously everyone is curious or they would not have looked at the thread.
I believe in AOPi we call it reorganizing when a chapter remains open. Recolonizing is when a chapter shuts down altogether and must wait, like AOPi at IU. That, like someone said, was not due to low #'s . It was something totally different.
Chapters can come back at IU if there is enough support. Witness AOPi. They seem to be doing alright. The Greek community has to support a chapter, though and there are always a few bad apples who want to keep you down.
I think what we need to be careful of, with rush coming up, is how or what we say about a chapter. There are a lot of PNMs on here. I am not referring to what xp2k said, really. Just in general.
That said, I wish the Purdue chapter the best. I hope all works out. I hate to see any Greeks leave!!!
