More info that you wanted, but I had to respond to that...

It may, to some, be improper, but it *has* been done.

I just got off the phone with the Archivist at SIUE. The Epsilon Pi charter was granted to Shurtleff University in 1948. In May of 1957 Shurtleff went out of business and SIU (@ Carbondale, though the location was not used since it was the only one), which had been planning to offer courses on the campus, instead ended up in complete control of the University and began offering classes at a residence center in July of 1957. Many Shurtleff upperclassman finished their degrees though the SIU campus. SIU-Edwardsville did not exist as a separate accredited institution until at least 1960. The archivist is trying to verify whether or not Alpha Phi Omega was in existance at Shurtleff when the school closed...

In each case a private institution with a charter of Alpha Phi Omega had a public university as its successor on the same campus. Why should Tidewater Community College Portsmouth be denied the Xi Tau charter when SIU-Edwardsville received the Epsilon Pi charter?
