I think it's an interesting statistic to track but, as pointed out, what it says about the organization is open to interpretation. Obviously a sorority with 200 chapters has more "wiggle room" to be closing a chapter a year than a sorority with 50 chapters. And the lack of concrete factors in deciding when to close a chapter is a big thing that varies widely between sororities -- on my campus, for example, XYZ HQ might decide to close one group when it gets below 50 members, whereas ABC wouldn't close their chapter until it gets to 20 girls. Kappa's accomplishment of not closing any chapters since 2000 is impressive -- but to put it in context, there was a poster here whose Kappa chapter went down to four members in recent years. Many other sorority HQs might have closed that chapter before they had a chance to prove themselves. Kappa did not, and the four-person chapter had a great rush that year and is now 3-4 times larger than it was. Either way it reflects highly on Kappa, but the lack of closed chapters can mean a number of totally different things.
Some sororities might be more likely to keep "sub-par" chapters open, or below-average chapters at certain schools (Ivy League and their ilk, SEC). And like aopirose pointed out, there are totally random factors that can lead to chapters closing too.
Plus I'm not sure the number of closed chapters matters all that much (as long as you have a viable number that are kept open) -- what matters more is the number of weak chapters that are NOT closed for whatever reason, which is obviously much harder to judge, and count, than the number of closed chapters.
