I believe it was due to the perceived "instability" of the NPC sororities on the campus. After Chi O closed (due to low membership numbers), there were several other chapters that closed, mostly also because of numbers, but a couple for some different reasons. Some of the closed chapters have re-opened, such as AGD (their Alpha Chapter!) and DPhiE, but others have remained closed.
It was probably a situation where there was always that one "bottom house" and when that one couldn't hold on any longer, another one took its place and it became sort of a revolving door of closings and openings for over 2 decades. But I'm looking at Shadokat's thread, and it appears that the last chapter to close was Pi Phi in 2013, and the most recent return was Alpha Chi Omega in 2016, so maybe things have finally started to settle down there without so many changes. Someone on here who has an in with SU's current Greek climate PMed me saying that there are now rumors that Chi Omega is interested in coming back, so maybe they've changed their minds. If they do, they'd be starting from scratch without a house, since the one they had has been donated.
