I think they only do it to chapters with numbers issues. Seems . . . uhm . . unfortunate to say the least.

I can assure you that isn't what Heather meant.
You're talking about a recolonization - she means the members of a smaller chapter and an interest group reaching out to each other. It takes a lot of respect and work but it can be done. It all depends on the campus how well this works.
However there are times it might not work - i.e. if the group of women is looking for a sorority with a Jewish background and the group in question has oodles o' Christian references.
It seems that fewer and fewer recolonizations are being done while the "old" members are still on campus. No matter how delicately it's handled, there are people with hurt feelings and with all the new venues out there for people to voice their displeasure, it's just not worth it. Even if you lose your spot in Panhel and can't get back in.
