That was probably a bad example to use in this context, but I just wanted to point out that even if people DO try to self-terminate it can get shot down by the NO and they're still on the hook for dues, so they might as well try to work it out. Obviously this isn't the case with every group as there are stories of women terminating left and right because they're upperclassmen.
That is interesting. Thanks for answering.

(If the OP was seeking advice rather than just sparking discussion) the point is that the OP needs to know what her NHQ/NO policies and procedures are and her chapter will know what to do from there should this ever be an issue. Consult your local/regional entity and chapter advisor (for those GLOs that don't allow nonmembers to advise). As with many Greek Life topics, it isn't really about what GCers think or what other orgs do. We should all know our GLO's policies and procedures and how our NHQs operate.
