The neat thing about GLOs is our networks, so I'm sure it wouldn't be hard at all to discover something to see if they were members of a previous organization.

Do they have policies on members disaffiliated barring them from joining another type of organization? NPC? locals? I'm just curious so I thought I would ask. A KDChi member posted (a few posts ago) that they do not accept anyone who has previously been a member of another GLO which I thought was interesting because some of the women who left the same local I left joined KDChi.


So...I'm assuming that the KDChi national board doesnt know that disaffiliated NPC girls are starting their colony?????:confused:

I was just trying to figure it if the non NPC orgs had rules being in one sorority and joining another. I understand that this is a basic NPC rule and only says that you cant go from one NPC to another. But then it almost seems weird that NPC has these rules but other orgs don't have rules like it.
Maybe they wanted no "sorority hopping" like mentioned earlier. I think mostly what it is is that knowing that you must wait to rush again ( like in NPC rules where you must wait a year) it really gives you time to think about what you're doing. If girls were allowed to "hop" from one sorority to another, REGARDLESS of conference affiliation, it certainly seems to discredit the unity and the loyalty that whatever organization wanted to foster.

However, I do agree with the general sentiment that if a girl's not happy, she's not happy, so let her join an org that makes her happy.

Actually it was not an NPC - it was a local sorority. The "breakup" of the local group splitting in 2 was well-known all around campus (very small school)... KDChi had been wanting to colonize there for about a year before the breakup of the local happened, and their colonization began shortly after the breakup of the local.

I've heard another girl say this and, forgive me
- If it's posted in another thread (direct me)
- If it's not mine to know
or
- If I have offended anyone

But I went to an HBCU, we didn't have GLOs (or at least not ones with any white members) So I don't really understand how you are no longer a part of a sorority/fraternity

PLEASE EXPLAIN

sorry if this didn't make any sense

If members of your chapter are cancelling their memberships and going off to form their own club, let them go. Better to allow your chapter to weed itself of unhappy members who don't gel with the rest of the group. Best of luck to the new club, and don't worry yourself about it. You have other fish to fry.

To the other person who asked, if you are an initiated member and no longer want to be a member of a GLO, you cancel your membership, and you are no longer a member. In the case of most inter/national social greek groups, once you do this, you aren't eligible to join another inter/national social greek. Sometimes you might have violated enough of the rules of the GLO to be cancelled involuntarily.

How it is possible: I signed a form stating I no longer wished to be a member of the sorority, and turned in my pin. Like adpiucf said, membership in most all GLOs works boths ways - it can be terminated out of the member's own free will, or it can be terminated as a result of major infractions against whatever rules of conduct (or risk management issues or things of that nature)
