I just don't understand how a sorority could claim to offer lifetime membership to someone and then remove those privileges in certain circumstances. That doesn't seem like lifetime membership to me? I'm really not snarking here, just surprised.

If she had to self terminate for the reasons you stated, she probably respects the sorority enough to no longer wear letters since she realizes she's no longer a member. One of my friends left DZ for $$$ issues and she would never have dreamed of wearing letters afterwards, even though she was still friends with all the sisters.
Someone from another campus who doesn't affiliate - I don't think anyone said they were opposed to that.
We're talking about the girls who get kicked out of the sorority because they stole tons of $$$ or hazed pledges or never came to events or were just generally batshit crazy. They didn't follow thorough on their promises to always respect the sorority and their sisters, so there is no reason for the sorority to follow through on their promise of lifetime membership.
