And to be honest with you all, I did feel like my original response was a little harsh... but it's the truth. If we have a member depledge, 99% of the time she'll say it's because of "financial" or "family issues." It's one thing if we know her mom just lost her job, say, or her dad is very ill... but if it came out of the clear blue, it's going to be met with some shock and possibly hurt feelings.

Last fall, a girl we adored depledged citing "financial issues" only to turn around and start HEAVILY "courting" another sorority. It was like a slap in the face. So I urge the OP to try to look at the sorority like a hurt friend. If the girls really are spiteful/bitchy... well, in time, you'll come out on top
