Sorry to crash...your boards are more interesting than ours right now. In most NPC groups....if you transfer to a school where there is not a chapter of your sorority, you are considered an UNAFFILIATED member. If you go to a school where there IS a chapter, you do not HAVE to affiliate and you become an ALUM when your original class graduates (even if you drop out of school...you are not an alum until the year you WOULD HAVE graduated).
But the thing about returning to your orignal school where you pledged and NOT reaffiliating is kind of an odd situation. I don't know how that would be looked at...but your concern that your sisters might not be welcoming of that decision is understandable in a way because they could see it as you deliberately choosing NOT to be a part of this with them. And, if you care about these girls and your sorority, why wouldn't you want to affiliate again? If you dont want them to take it personally, I think it would be a good idea to sit down with your close friends in the chapter and share with them how you feel--that you value them and their friendship and don't want this decision to hurt them. There may be others who feel resentment, though...because you are not paying dues but may expect to still be an alum when you all graduate. It's a tough situation....
