There are quite a few NPC groups that have been very successful recolonizing immediately on a wide variety of campuses. Technically, these are different chapters for most groups as when a chapter is recolonized they get a new charter and their chapter name changes in some fashion in most organizations.
This is a dramatic oversimplification but the reason why people recognize them as a different group is that they usually are very different. They look different, they act different, they socialize differently, they sometimes live somewhere different or their house is completely remodeled. Most groups recolonize not just because their numbers are low but because the group lacks a positive image on campus and is generally unhealthy (according to the standards of that group or for that campus).
Everyone realizes that not every recolonization attempt works. In the cases that it doesn't the group usually leaves and comes back.
