I agree about not making this an NPC issue. A close friend of mine was in an EXTREMELY similar situation of the OP. She pledged an NPC sorority the fall of our first semester at school, was initiated, and didn't come back the second semester of our freshmen year because of cancer. During her time away, her sorority did fundraisers for her and I believe there was even a blurb about her in her organizations magazine. She recieved dozens of letters and cards from chapters, actives, and alumni from ALL over the country, just to let her know shes in their thoughts and prayers. I was truly in awe by the support that this organization showed for my friend through her tough times, and honestly, seeing that made me want to join a sorority too (since I had no joined yet at that time).
As someone mentioned before, we don't know all the details, therefore I think it's totally unfair to judge the organization and accuse the members of basically abadoning her. It has nothing to do with the fact that it's an NPC chapter.
ETA: Sorry, I don't like to continue discussions, especially like this these^^, that stray away from the main topic. But I was just VERY upset by that, especially since I saw just how wonderful my friend's NPC organization was to her in her time of need.
