Honestly, I know from experience that this would just increase the behavior in question. When groups on this campus were placed on social probation, they would just end up throwing their own parties or "co-sponsoring" parties at fraternity houses. If you're looking to decrease the amount of illegal parties, cutting out the legal ones is not going to do it.
Honestly, there is not much to do at this point except pull the charter or do a "weeding out" -- which may not address the problem and will effectively kill off the chapter at many schools anyway. I agree with 33girl that it sounds like one of those cases where the national HQ is talking out of both sides of its mouth and enforcing policies differently for big successful chapters versus smaller ones, and it sounds like the chapter has picked up on this and knows that nothing really bad will end up happening to them as long as they keep bringing in money/prestige/whatever it is that HQ is keeping them open for.
