What I meant is I registered and was initiated, but I was at least hoping to get my pin that my registration went towards. But I guess if I terminate my own membership, I don't get anything to show for.

If you resigned your membership (or were terminated) you would have had to turn in your pin, membership card, etc. - anything with the sorority's insignia, letters, and so on. You are no longer a member. The NPC ship has sailed for you. Let it go.

Unless there is an option for you to petition for reinstatement, of course. That may or may not be an option and is never guaranteed. But it's worth investigating.

In the event that I were to get re-instated, how would that work if the school I transferred does not have a chapter, and the fact that I would still be graduating this fall?

You need to contact your sorority's HQ (you never answered me as to whether you were in an NPC sorority). Every sorority has a different policy. There's no "blanket" way it works.

Regardless, it won't happen this fall. Things don't move that fast. You don't have any options as far as NPC membership goes because your initiated chapter (which you are no longer a member of) isn't at your current school.

Focus on graduating.

It was termination at my request.. as I said in my earlier post... I couldn't afford to stay in...parents wouldn't pay. I was a freshman, still had to pay tuition etc... I don't remember my options, but I think terminating my membership was my only option financially.

Hmm I thought I did. It was Alpha Sigma Alpha, so yes it is NPC.

Contact your HQ, that's where your answers will be. Good luck!

ETA sorry my bad, just saw your post on pg. 1

Reinstating your membership, if feasible, would make you eligible to participate in alumnae chapters.
