I agree with NutBrnHair in that there are a variety of reasons that chapters close. It is silly to imply that these closing are the “end all, be all” testament to organization strength and stability. DZ, for example, closed their chapter at Santa Clara because the university withdrew recognition of Greeks. DZ, from what the DZs on here have said, does not operate on a campus without university recognition.
I also have one correction. AOII never had a colony at Mississippi State. We ceased efforts before it got to that point. We did not find enough qualified women to fill a competitive size chapter. Further, we didn’t want to put those we did select into a game of perpetual catch-up.

Splendid post! It's hard to say, "Oh, they lost 4 chapters last year" when those four schools all banned Greek activity - it makes a HUGE difference.
Also, I like AOII's policy about not putting a colony into perpetual catch up!
