I do hope someone sat down with Meena and discussed her priorities and time management, before she was depledged. Just a simple "We don't feel you're putting in enough time, you have far fewer points than any of your pledge sisters, and you're in danger of being depledged" would have done it. She was not putting in the time, and she wasn't making an effort to get to know everyone. When she got her big she said something like "Now I can really get to know that person." Sweetie, it doesn't work that way, you have to get to know everyone!

This is making me wish it were a little easier in NPC orgs to depledge someone or prevent her initiation. You can't really get to know someone in a few hours of rush parties. So you could bid a girl who turns out to be an ax murderer, a slut, a drug dealer... or someone like Meena, who has way too much on her plate already and can't fit in the time it takes to pledge and to get to know her future sisters. Forced depledging should be used only as a very last resort, though.

Also - I really hope Lynnise is first in line to take a little next semester (if she's not a graduating senior?) From what she said it sounded like she'd never had one...
