Not significantly for Alpha Phi Omega. The only differences between a new charter and a recharter is that for a recharter
1) you get the old letters back as a chapter (note, the colony is referred to by the school name, not the letters it will get back)
2)the rechartering brothers get a smaller rechartering certificate with their names in addition to the original charter (or a recreated copy)
3) a rechartering group is expected to research/study the history of the chapter when it was previously active
4) Try to invite brothers from the chapter from times when it was previously active to the ceremonies.

Totally out of my lane here, but I think you could look at this one as a mitigating factor. The history of why YMCA closed and Roosevelt opened is really an important story, and maybe moving the charter helps to underscore that.
