This is pretty much what happened with the girl in the situation I described. Everyone knew she pledged ABC, so when she transferred back to her big SEC school, everyone back home assumed she'd affiliated. Only people who knew girls in the chapter in question knew the "whole story," and most of those girls were too ladylike to spread the story around back home.
In answer to tld221's question, I know that the girl still wore letters/shirts on campus (a source of frustration to the girls in the chapter, though they couldn't do anything about it). She wasn't invited to closed chapter events, but could attend anything alumni were invited to since she was technically an alum.
