I'm not sure if you mean a year and a half past her completing pledgeship, or a year and a half including her pledgeship, but either way I don't understand why the national and/or the chapter didn't tell her to s*** or get off the pot. I thought you could only be held over for grades one semester, and as to the monetary situation, I would think the chapter or national could have set up a payment plan for her (unless living in the house was involved). So starting off, the situation seems to have been handled poorly from what CP is telling us.

While I think the "A" alumnae group was a bit vindictive, I can somewhat see their view. This woman enjoyed sorority life without having to pay full member dues or take on other responsibilties of a member (like living in the house). She contributed to the chapter in other ways, and for her chapter sisters that might have been enough. But if you were in a chapter where dues and fines and such were highly enforced, it might be hard to see the other side.

Should she come out? DEFINITELY. "I was pledging A in school, but never actually got initiated because of grades/$$ etc. I wasn't able to initiate later because of national policies. I found a home in B and am very happy there." If there are people who know her who think she is A and see her sporting B letters, they are going to feel played - it's better to get it in the open.
