i really don't think this woman has anything to explain to anyone. if people she lost touch with in group A think that she is initiated, then so what. the people she keeps in touch with regularly probably already know that she was denied alum initiation for the group. i am betting that some of those women wrote recs for her. as for other people she knows, she should be really proud to tell them about her association with group B. it seems kind of sketchy that group A denied her alum iniation request. i would think that after years of working with the group that it would be rewarded...but what do i know! i think it is really great that she was able to find her home! send our best regards!
