"none can leave" that is a strong statement. But consider this. If we are born into a family or adopted into a family as a child, no matter our actions we will always BE part of that family. We can legally remove affliation and distance ourselves physically and emotionally. But we are still part of the family no matter what.
Many apply this same concept to thier GO [Greek Organization]. Once you have initiated you are considered brother/sister by the organization, you are privilaged to "family" secrets and you are called to uphold responsiblites. Now, You can "leave" the organization (i.e. refuse to affliate, terminate communication and participation, cease to uphold your responsiblites). But you are part of the family and know about the family. Just like anything, people's participation within an organization will wax and wane. Some may find their pin after 20 years and realize what they had abandoned and return to the family.
Unforunitly, some memebers do completely turn their backs on their family and remove all possible connection with them in the future. And so do GO members...

Why would you want someone to belong to your group when they dont really want to be there anymore? Thats so counterproductive. Before anyone gets too high and mighty, let me just say that part of being human is learning whats good for you and who you are as you go along. It doesnt end at 21 or when you join whatever, its a life long journey. Alot of the girls in my house stray or outright leave by senior year. I hate to say this but some of you are sounding like the gangs on Montel Williams who dont "let people leave."
