This happened to us! Granted, our VP Membership was brand-new, and the girl actually ended up being an OK member, but STILL.
That's forced pledging, and most national sororities have a rule against it. Aphigal, I'm surprised the sororities at Tufts have put up with that policy (the nationals that is).

I feel torn on this subject - on one hand I think it is cruel to send a girl to a party where the sisters didn't vote for her to be there, but on another hand there are some times when if girls get a second chance, the sisters end up really liking them. I can see it for the first night back if you have 3 or 4 invite nights, but after that, NO WAY.
