The alumnae connections and lifelong opportunities for friendship and service are such an important part of the sorority experience, and I've found that many of my friends are leaning a lot more into this as we approach our 40s.
If I were a member of another (recognized) sorority at SMU, I wouldn't be too concerned about The Society poaching PNMs. It sounds like the girls The Society wants (and the girls who want The Society) are from a very specific social set and likely wouldn't have pledged anything else anyway.

If Theta terminates their memberships, that would just be affirming the Society's status & that they are a Theta "replacement." Kind of along the same lines as Congress not mentioning the Mafia because it confirms there is a Mafia. As long as they are not outright disparaging Theta in their activities or media, Theta is wisest just to let them be.
