When I was in school in the early/mid 90's there were 2 sororities on campus that were struggling. Their reputation around campus was pretty bad, their numbers very low. One of the chapters had another chapter come in to help out during rush-this did not work. Then they attempted to re-colonize a year after they had their present members go alum-this did not work. Unfortunately, what they needed to do was close down for 4-5 years or permanantely. Maybe it depends on the school you go to but once you have a bad rep/very low numbers (I am talking a chapter of 30-40 members when house total is at 140) at A&M all the alum support in the world will not help (though it may be different now). It was better to close and re-colonize later or just close permanately. The other chapter I mentioned also closed as they could not increase numbers either in spite of much effort.
