I agree... and Ithink the whole deal revolves around the fact that those women who were dismissed were at one time given and accepted bids to join... they went through the whole process and then became full sisters.
Then, not even suddenly, because several articles have stated that the "Great DZ Decline" happened over a period of TEN YEARS, DZ decides they want to overhaul their image and consider closing/reopening because their centenial is coming up.
All of a sudden image mattered.
I think that even if DZ was able to close then suddenly reopen, they would not have received the great response that they hoped for because even if they held an open recruitment, DZ would have still had to deal with the "image" it had before on campus. Those don't die suddenly on most schools.
