Each organization may have a different word for this.
Basically (my guess) it sounds like the chapter is "recolonizing" without "closing". For whatever reason (low numbers, mismanagement, rule violations, etc.) the chapter is being rebuilt from the ground up. National Staff could be "cleaning house" , maybe leaving a few members, maybe none, and recruiting an entirely new group of women to run the chapter. Much the same way a new colony starts....staff and advisers would probably be responsible for educating the new members and teaching them how to run the chapter.
I was involved in something similar last year with a chapter, so that's what it sounds like to me. Each situation is done differently, however.
