Not really. There are schools (Santa Clara and Franklin & Marshall come to mind) where the chapters aren't or weren't recognized by the school, but there is no punishment for joining them and they have the full support of their national org. I would hardly call that "underground" - simply unrecognized. Underground makes them sound like outlaws, which they are not.
I would guess that for more people, "underground" means a group that was formerly a chapter of a national org that continues to operate under the national org's name without their or the school's blessing.
