What I'm reading is just people confusing pledging and initiation. One person refers to one, then another thinks it applies to something else.
*sigh*
With transferring, if I had been pledging, say, Sigma Kappa at one school then depledged because I was going to transfer, I'd be able to pledge a different sorority here. And I think that is what's above, not just falling through the cracks... although I do wonder sometimes since there aren't really any background checks to make sure you're not already in a npc sorority if you've transferred... what I'm wondering is why anyone would actually want to do that? If you went alum at the first one, wouldn't you be paying double the dues? (I guess you could out and out quit, but there's got to be something about a person that would make them feel cruddy--like whatever it was that made them want to be in a sisterhood to begin with)
*shrug* I dunno, I'm not sure I really need to sit and think about it.. I'm moving my stuff out of one room and taking it to where I'll be living in the fall so I guess I'll be off to that instead of pick apart the details
