I don't believe in automatic closure. I think that is the tendency, though. It's difficult to fight the negative publicity battle and also the liability and insurance fight. In some cases, (where the violation is questionable or very slight, I would like to see the national organization stand up for its' members and chapter. If the violation is clear and/or serious, there is little or no choice except closing.
What seems to happen most often is the GLO suspends the chapter and then recolonizes in anywhere from two to four years after the chapter leaders have graduated.
Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. We have recolonized at the Unviersity of Colorado a couple of times, and the same problems persisted. We may have done a bad job of recruiting, or the Greek culture and/or university administration on the campus may have doomed the efforts in advance. Who knows?
A lot of things would have to change there before we try again.
