As long as you have a strong national organization that will support you, and dedicated, hard-working members, there should be no problem with staying in existence at your school.
PM me if you want a more in-depth account of what we went through at SCU.

Not only is there definitely greek life after University recognition, there can also be expansion after recognition. SCU never expected our greek system to grow, they expected it to wilt and die away, but here I am, initiated into Kappa Alpha Theta which was newly colonized last year and we have 115 members---amazing for a new chapter, esp. one with no University recognition! It's hard, but a good Greek system of support and strong nationals will apparently pull you through it---even our local fraternity came through it just fine.
