BUT, she also said their chapter won national awards at AXiD convention AND won the chapter excellence award from their campus panhellenic last year and that the girls are really great but they feel they will never catch up. What kind of an impact does this rush have on them in terms of what the national organization is thinking? Does anyone know if their chapter in danger of closing? What can they do to recover?

I don't think that anyone on this board is in a position to say what will or will not happen. I think I have a good idea which chapter you are speaking about and, if I am correct, I'll go out on a limb and say that they need to do what they have done for years - COB.
How a chapter does during formal recruitment isn't going to determine a chapter's fate.... it's what they do after formal recruitment that matters.... are the members willing to put the work into finding and pledging good quality women through COB? If so, I'd venture to say that they will be okay.
The chapter also needs to take a good, hard look at their formal recruitment for this year and determine what they need to do differently next year. They need to ask for help from their AF and their recruitment specialist. There are TONS of resources available to chapters - they need to use them.
