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.

Franklin & Marshall's entire greek system, until this year, was underground. Our chapter there was part of that.
The reason why a former chapter is not an underground chapter is simple. A chapter, of anything, implies that it is part of a division of a parent organization. If it is no longer chartered, it is no longer a chapter of anything.
