Is it like "here's your pledge class - go!" or are they around for 5 years trying to get things running smoothly...
Usually, sororities do not recolonize a chapter until many years have passed. At one particular - maybe even the one you're at - one group has been gone more than 40 years and the other has been gone more than 30 years. I heard all kinds of wild rumors about one of the groups - even though those spreading the rumors weren't born until long after it closed. The rumors were quite amusing, because they were wrong. The other group was unknown because there are very few other chapters in that part of the country.
Yes, there will be plenty of social events. The Greek community usually tries to be very welcoming...the new group will probably have more social events with many different groups - sororities and fraternities - the first two or three years because they'll want to welcome the new group.
International/national HQ usually sends a specially trained pro to live with the group the first couple of years, with close supervision and frequent visits from regional/international officers. It might even stretch to another year or so. Often, this pro is a graduate student at the same time.
That's been my experience with my group, anyway.
