If Tau Kappa Alpha were to no longer be a fraternity ("national HQ went under") they would still be Tekes IF they had been properly initiated. If you were initiated into a properly chartered chapter, you remain a TKE . Your membership is tied to you, not your chapter. If your chapter lost its charter when you were a member you would then become an alumnus if you were in good standing, much the way members who go to campuses without their GLOs are still members, although no longer active collegiate members.
However, once your chapter lost its charter it could no longer initiate new members until it was re-chartered. It ceased to exist as a TKE chapter.
