The closing of a chapter is usually the national HQ's reaction to the above things happening. But the power to keep the group from taking members and initiating them lies with the national.
This just sounds like they can't have mixers or alcohol at their formal, which is what a lot of chapters not on probation do anyway.

A private school may not have the statuatory right to do so, but it has the
de facto power to revoke a charter. You can not exist at Stanford with school recognition. It is not practically possible. Also, Stanford has the right to expell students who join an unrecognized organization, if it so chooses.
