I think after one year whether there is a preference is up to the school, the Greek advisor, etc. At some schools they may prefer to bring back former chapters, either for historical reasons or because their alums are supportive. Other places, no.
For example, there is an NPC sorority that petitions every year to come back to campus. Every year they are voted down, because Panhel doesn't feel there is room for another group. But even if there was, I bet our local (over 100 years old) would vote against it, because being the oldest group on campus is a big deal to them, and this national was there before they were. And the original alums from that chapter are definitely long dead by now, so the school doesn't care about them.
