Having witnessed two chapters shut down as an undergrad, it's not at all uncommon for a chapter to experience some type of serious investigation/judicial actions (from the university, national organization, or law enforcement) at the end of the academic year (which yes would also fall near commencement). This is a time when many members would be moving out and gives the summer for alumni, undergrads and campus officials to figure out what to do from that point and how the national organization will act or intervene. However, during the same time as when parents are arriving to campus - yeah, a bit odd. But, also looking at it from the other side, if the chapter had caused the campus such embarrassment from it's "animal house reputation" then is this the community taking its turn at embarrassment to the chapter? No, that's not just or right to do, but just a thought as I was reading it.
I know it's hard not to look so far into it if you're close to the situation, because I would feel the same way if it were my own chapter and try to see any reason why things would happen when they do. But if law enforcement did have their eye on the house for a long time (as the article indicates "...the search at the Alpha Delta house was part of a two-year investigation and that they expect to make arrests."), then really this shouldn't come as a complete surprise.
