I thought the same thing and feel vindicated that I'm not the only one! I did a double-take when I saw this announcement and went back to irishpipes' thread to double-check when this chapter closed. It was only 2019, so there are definitely still students on campus who remember the old chapter. I hope this doesn't harm the new chapter's success but it feels awfully fast and I can think of several recent examples where this didn't end well.

As for presentation format, some of that might be dictated by the school-at Cornell, for example, no visitors are allowed to come to campus and the current maximum number of people allowed in a face-to-face meeting is ten. That max is probably going to drop because the MBA students had St Patty's Day parties and we're experiencing a spike in cases, but that's a different point...

I feel the same way. Usually they'll wait 4 years or more if they try a reorganization effort, but maybe there's so many people going greek that they need the extra chapter. Which is why I was surprised they were coming back so soon.

Also I saw on Greek rank (I didn't believe it until the QUFSL post) that they were going to do a quick reorganization a little after the chapter closed, so who knows it could work.

LaneSig, the article says the school “expelled” the chapter and it would never again be allowed back on that campus.

In these situations where there is a death, wouldn’t it wiser for Pike Nationals to be proactive and close it themselves? Or does that increase their legal liability? It just seems that they should have beaten the school to it.

My opinion only: in this case and other cases where a group has been permanently banned from a campus, it is the school that does the banning. The inter/national organization probably hoped to return one day in the future, so did not agree to the permanent ban. They will agree to the closure, but probably did not issue a joint statement with the campus due to the ban.
