The interesting question which this brings up is the issue of what is necessary to take alumnae status. Maybe that needs to be addressed on a national/international level - or is it a relatively minor problem?
When I was a chapter advisor, I had to deal with girls with financial problems, and those with issues with other members. I did everything I could to enable our members to continue as actives - doesn't every GLO have policies in place to deal with situations like this? Maybe not - and that may be the problem.
I like the fact that if you deactivate from Gamma Phi there is an appeal process if you decide you wish to reaffiliate. You can't do it for a number of years, and it isn't a certainty, but I know that it is possible to make a choice at the age of 19 - 21 that you might wish to do differently when you are older.
