I'd like to update you all on my situation, we have a recruitment event coming up with the organization of my choice tomorrow.
…….
Then I will talk with our CCD and our new president about my situation. I would like to clarify that the reasons for leaving were financial and personal. I am hoping with my situation having improved, and a large group of girls that I am still close with, that I can plead my case and come back better than ever.
Thanks for all your help.

I won't pretend to know the reinstatement procedures for any NPC other than my own, but I'm willing to bet that all of them would not leave this decision solely up to the chapter into which you were initiated. YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR (INTER)NATIONAL HQ before you do anything. So many people have said this to you, and yet your thought is: 1) Attend recruitment event, 2) Talk to the president of the chapter, and 3) Become an active sister again.
THIS IS NOT HOW IT WORKS.

Also, I have no idea how my words have been twisted to be a negative thing. I was specifically invited by the president of this chapter to this event. I was also asked by several sisters to come. IF in the event I am asked to leave, I will not be making a scene about it. I am simply going where I have been invited to go.
IF, at recruitment, my Chapter director states that I need to make a formal request through headquarters, I will discuss more indepth with that person.
I would like to clarify that NONE of this was meant to be perceived as me taking advantage of a situation. I was not ASKED to leave my sorority, I felt the need to because I was going through extreme personal issues and financial issues. Now that I am back on my own two feet and I have been invited to the organization's recruitment event, I don't see the harm in going.

It doesn't matter why you left. You left. You are no longer a sister.
Bringing this up to the Chapter Director AT the recruitment event is NOT the way to go about this. It's completely inappropriate. The recruitment event is held to get to know potential members, NOT to talk to you about your problems.
Just because the president invited you does not mean that she is right in doing so. You may show up and other sisters could be pissed. As others have pointed out, you're now getting for free what other sisters are paying for. That's not fair to anyone. Why put yourself in that position?
If your (inter)national organization decides that you can be reinstated and your chapter still loves you as much as you claim, then you'll have no problem going back to them. However, you're going about this all backwards. You need to be patient and go through the proper channels to get this done. Don't make the chapter think that everything is fixed before it actually is, only to have them find out later that you're trying to "sneak" back in the wrong way (especially when we're telling you what the correct way is). Be respectful!
