If his origial statement is true then the chapter wouldn't lose their position of strenth in the first place. When do they return to their position of strength. If it is after they get back campus recognition then doesn't that contradict his original point?

I understand your point. A chapter that never left campus can not "return". Nor would a strong chapter - that remains strong - "return" to being strong. Kind of redundant.
A chapter that is suspended by the university is usually not allowed to participate in Greek Life or hold offices in IFC. Various other "punishments" may apply. However, once the suspension is lifted, then the chapter "returns" to Greek Life et al.
As such, I feel that what I wrote previously applies to both "strong" chapters that leave campus and return; and to suspended or de-recognized "strong" chapters that remain on campus.
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.
