A friend's chapter was suspended for a year due to poor grades. They weren't allowed to participate in any Greek life related events but could attend parties - if applicable - as guests. I believe he said they had to have an alum advisor attend their meetings too. I think he said they suspended recruitment for a semester to ensure their grades were up and that the new members grades had been met. (i.e. the 'main' rush for fraternities was usually in the fall but they didn't recruit until the spring.)
He said that the brotherhood actually grew stronger during this time. They really bonded together and worked as a group to get their grades back. They also didn't want to be known as the members who allowed the chapter to fold.
