Please do not fall into the trap of thinking if it didn't happen on screen, it did not happen. They film these women 24/7 for 2-3 months and edit it down to the 9 most conflict-filled hours they can.
That is wonderful that you didn't have probs with people missing events, but I am guessing if you had a pledgesister who never came to anything she wouldn't be initiated, "equality" with the sisters or not. They didn't terminate Meena's pledgeship in the nicest manner, but it has nothing to do with making her prove anything. She was not only doing what was expected of her as a pledge, she was not doing what was expected of any sister - I'm sure if they have a sister who consistently misses events she is disciplined as well. All NPC groups have attendance policies - it's part of being a responsible sister.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT!! From what I can piece together, there were more events than the three events organizated by the actives. The pledges had meetings all the time. Does anyone remember the pledge meeting that they had to BEG Meena to come to and it was at HER own house? And please don't say that a midnight meeting is too late because when I was in college, most of my friends didn't START studying until midnight. It wasn't like she had to travel far to get there.
There were MANY times when I was so tired that I was near tears and someone called a meeting for one of my Church groups or sorority. Did anyone have to beg me to get out of bed? NO My church is 45 minutes away from my home but I still drove down there WHENEVER they needed me. I have been up to 3-4 o'clock in the morning trying to plan an event with my sorority, even though I had class 8:00 the next morning. And you want to know why? BECAUSE I CARED. Maybe MTV edited all the times Meena helped out with her pledge class, but it's really funny how all the pledges outside of the house didn't see it either. When Meena told some of her pledge sisters that she wasn't going to be there for two important events, to me she had an "oh well" attitude. She didn't act really upset about it.
Why is it asking too much for them to want to see Meena act like she wants to be there? I would agree that they should of given her a warning, but Meena isn't stupid. She knows she couldn't get away with that type of behavior in any of her other groups, so why should she expect to get away with it for the sorority?
