So...she came through formal recruitment the following Fall (04) with us, pledged, initiated, then dropped her membership the next semester.

That experience alone gives me a bad taste in my mouth about girls who have already de-pledged another chapter. Not saying that all pnms are like that - but after experiencing it once, it's enough to make you stop and go "hmmm, she depledged them....whats to say she's not going to depledge or drop membership with us too?"
It sounds like she thought "hey, this is a colony, it will be 180 degrees totally different than an established group!" and it wasn't. When PSS recolonized on our campus, I think they had quite a few women join with that mindset too.
