Regarding the whole "faith vs. NPC" issue, while the NPC might not have required its members be Protestant-only, many sororities were Protestant-only. Was this written into their constitutions? I can only speak for Beta Sigma Omicron, as I have read its constitution. At one point, only Protestants were allowed membership. (The majority chapters of BSO joined ZTA in 1964.)
Looking at KBG's wikipedia entry, some of the chapters that closed did so in the latter part of the 1960's, when Greek life started to decline in general:
ALPHA, St. Louis University, 1947- 1967
BETA, Marquette University, 1917- 1968
ZETA, Loyola University New Orleans, 1961-1966.
If you are worried about chapters closing, look at Findlay (2002- ???), Franklin & Marshall's (2003-2008) and Frostburg (2007-2013). Some research on GC will lead you to at least one thread on F&M's KBG closure.
Compare the closing of three chapters with the chartering of 12 chapters, including St John's in OCt 2013.
Good luck!
