XYZ sorority at GVSU has their charter pulled by their nationals for low membership. They haven't done anything wrong in a disciplinary sense - no hazing, drinking, anything. Since the sorority is no longer recognized by their national HQ, GVSU also withdraws their recognition. Are the sisters who are left allowed to wear letters or not???

Well, typically, the University would not withdraw the recognition, but in this case, yes they could still wear letters. It's not about recognition, it's about being expelled. If you lose recognition because of low membership, you're not being expelled. You simply cease to be recognized as a group. This happened to the TriSigs a while back. Their nationals pulled their charter (and it was done in such a horrible way that in front of the entire Greek community, the Provost at GVSU told the President of Sigma Sigma Sigma that they would never be allowed to recolonize GVSU because of the horrible way they treated the girls who did nothing to have their charter revoked), and they became a local sorority which then merged with a different sorority. The issue of not being allowed to wear letters only extends to expelled chapters.
