I think a lot of it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. These schools and chapters are not full of horrible people, but when the nationals keep saying they are, that's what the administration believes and what they convey to the rest of the campus. Also, I can tell you firsthand that while some of the reports are true, some are greatly exaggerated. /soapbox

As long as SSHE schools have what I believe is an unwarranted black mark on their foreheads, the bad will fester and just get worse.

Also, in response to polarpi's post, it seems that most of the chapters that have closed have been of sororities that are very strong in the South. I do think there is some degree of culture clash that goes on. That's just an observation.
