Sorority kick out

Msmith106 · #1 03-21-2016, 11:21 AM

Hey there! So two years ago I joined a sorority at a college and I loved it, but after I was in they started to kinda outcast me and make me feel like I was a black sheep. This started to really stress me out and I began failing classes and soon they terminated me from the sorority. Since then I'm at a local community college and now I'm thinking about going to a school 3 hours from me. Is it possible that I could rush for a different sorority or can I just get back into my same sorority but just at a different school?

What kind of sorority were you in? was it a Local, NPC, NPHC?

And were you initiated?

I was initiated and it was a international sorority

If it was NPC, then you cannot join another NPC sorority.
You may, however, join a local sorority, professional sorority, or honor society.

That's not the question. Is it NPC, NPHC, NALFO, what?

If it is an NPC, no you can't join another one. And when you were terminated, did you get the option to try to appeal?

It was mainly grades cause I was dealing with a death in my family and they let me explain what was going on and they all agreed that I would not be apart of the sorority anymore. I was terminated around this time but a year ago

Did you receive any paperwork at the time your membership was terminated? If so, it may tell you whether you are eligible for reinstatement at some point. If you do not have any paperwork or if you do, but it is unclear to you, contact your International Headquarters for clarification.

It was a NPC, the president at the time never gave me the paper she just e-mailed me saying "your request to terminate your membership has been granted by IHQ."

By saying "your request" it makes it sound like you resigned, which would be a different issue. You should definitely check into it as it has been suggested but resignation is different than termination.

That's not true in all groups. In mine, it doesn't matter whether you resign or are terminated. However, you can apply for re-instatement but it's a 10 year wait period.

Were you an AOII? I don't know how many groups use IHQ other than us. If you were, you can apply to have your membership reinstated. Rarely do they make a point of excluding people from this option (usually for people involved in egregious incidents.) Generally, you have to wait 3 years to be reinstated. I don't believe we reinstate to collegiate status, meaning you would be an alumna.

I believe that everyone who has chapters in Canada uses IHQ

Well, then, you are not eligible to join another NPC group anywhere.
