As far as I know, not very common in my sorority, SGR, but we've had a few of both.
I think another contributing factor is when a collegiate chapter goes through being open, then closed, then opened and closed again over a short period of time - membership status can get lost in the shuffle.
NPHC's MIP (as we know it today) was developed to streamline and better control the NM period ("pledge process") because chapters were a bit rampant.
There was a case with AKA where a chapter in California was closed, but there were women who wanted to join, so an unscrupulous member had these women pledging, and the PNMs died. This is an example of an underground chapter.

I remember that night it happened. Word got around quickly within a couple hours of the incident (in California). I can’t believe it’s been 12 years.
