I hope you do stick around!

But I don't like the idea of misinformation about you (or anyone) floating about your National HQ. If I were you, I would detail my involvement with Pi Phi and your college career (including the internship), year by year on paper and send it to the proper person. I would add that, if there was an outstanding balance or any logical reason that you did not know about prior to graduation to cause your termination, you want to know about it. If it was a standards issue, you want to know about it. If it was a grades issue, you want to know about it. Whatever it is, you should know (and IMHO, deserve to know) why you are ineligible for reinstatement.

FWIW, a sister from the 1960's was deactivated from a chapter, and after much pleading, was reinstated by ADPi. Unfortunately, she pulled a MAJOR standards issue (embezzlement of chapter funds) in the 1980's, and then her membership was withdrawn - forever. In my book, unless you've pulled something as unforgivable as that, you should be able to plead your case. Yet, I'm not a member of Pi Beta Phi, so I don't know if your HQ is much stricter than ours.

Best of luck! I would hate to think that this would be held against any possible legacy.
