You would have to consult with an attorney to determine exactly what it is you are trying to accmplish, why you are trying to accomplish it, and the legalities of how to proceed in your particular state.
If they are adults you no longer legally owe them any care, support, or sustenance, and they have no legal claim on anything that you don't wish to give them of your own free will.
I urge you to examine your motives - if all you are trying to do is hurt them, you have nothing to gain and may cause irreperable strain and hurt to your extended family.

The other adult will file as single.
What does it mean to be a chapter of a sorority group Is it like a a subcategory and are there other groups in the chapter as well?
The analogy to parent and adopted-adult "children" (young adults) would be more appropriate regarding the structure. The parent organization is the National. It can have as many adopted-adult children as they wish, called "Chapters". As long as the young adults follow the rules set out from the National 'parent', they can still call themselves chapters. Each Chapter of a Sorority become "sisters" and "brothers" in Fraternities, and set up Chapter Rules that follow National rules. If some adopted-young adults misbehave, the Chapter can kick them out. But if many or most of the adopted-young adults misbehave, the National "parent" can kick them out. When one or all get kicked out, it's like getting a 3-day eviction from a court on behalf of a landlord--- the National can order students to pack up and leave their Chapter's "House". In part, National can do this because as the "parent", National owns the house. On the other part of this, National often has agreements with the college/university to have the "House" on campus. So the University becomes a Guardian of the "children" and can tattle to National about misbehavior on campus, AND as Guardian also can enforce rules or decisions of the National. While most Sororities and Fraternities are upstanding and successfully rule their own behavior, others misuse their rights in the Chapter and as part of the National "family".
