I tend to agree with Firehouse here that strong chapters return to positions of strength.

While many things may factor into how and why, my guess is that the key may very well be alumni support. From what I've noticed, alumni support is strong with "strong" chapters. And with good alumni support, a chapter is better able to "weather" the bad years and come back as they were.

For example. I'd say over the past twenty years or so, every "strong" chapter at UK has had some sort of issue. Either suspended, social probation, house condemned, renovations etc. All have good alumni support and have come back strong. Granted, some may not be at the very top of the so called "pecking order" as before, but they are strong.
