What Greek affiliation she USED to have is neither here nor there. She is not a Chi Omega any longer. She was NOT a Chi Omega when she participated in the show. So what does her conduct on the show have to do with Chi Omega? The answer is a big, fat NOTHING.

If someone is not abiding by the standards that a Greek organization has set, then that person can lose their membership. But what that person does AFTER the membership termination, good or bad, is no reflection on the GLO to which he/she used to belong.

I'm not a member of Chi Omega, and I'm certainly not a member of the chapter where Trishelle was from. Therefore, I'm not going to presume to know what circumstances caused the girl's membership to be terminated. However, I do have a firm faith in NPC organizations, and I know that they don't take membership termination lightly. If a girl's membership is terminated, then you can bet the farm that there is a very good reason behind it. And I don't think that it's really our place on GreekChat to question that reason.

Bottom line: Every GLO handles problems within their chapters in a way that they feel is best for the chapter. If the problem lies with a specific member, then that member may be reprimanded, put on probation, suspended, or completely terminated -- all depending on how severe the problem is. Every case is different and every GLO is different, so it's impossible to make a blanket statement as to how chapters deal with "problem" members.
