I guess it is similar to a chapter of a sorority closing. They are no longer chartered ABC, but they met and were bonded in the sisterhood of ABC. The sisters, who became alumnae with the revocation of their charter, want to continue their friendships and community service so they form a volunteer group. They continue to meet weekly, but with a different name. Their meetings might still operate as they did when they were active sisters. Eventually, the sisters/alumnae graduate and the volunteeer group takes on a life and identity of its own, or it dies out. I guess that this is how it would happen on campuses nationwide or internationally.
I sincerely hope that the prediction that only 15 to 20 NPC sororities will exist by 2015 is incorrect. I would not be surprised however if some sororities do close completely. Haven't three to five NPCs closed already since World War II? I know that some merged with other existing NPCs. Perhaps that it what the future holds in store. All it takes for the complete termination of any NPC sorority is a risk management tragedy and enormous lawsuits which could result in a bankruptcy.
