Am I still somewhere between being a member and a non initiate? Even though I’m older could I rejoin? I did’nt finish my 4 yr degree as I chose another path but I loved that sorority and don’t want to let it go. Any advice please??
Sincerely,

Actually, this post brings to mind something I read very recently about the worthiness of the term "pledge" and the misleading nature of using the term "new member". #bringbackpledging #abolishnewmemberterminology
Sigh. OK,
assuming this is NPC and not another group:
You are not an "Ex sorority girl". You're not in limbo at all. Your association with a sorority was severed during your "new member period". FYI, for others reading, it is fairly easy for either side (new member or sorority) to terminate during a "new member period" for virtually any reason at all, including "not so great behavior" (was it your behavior, or the two ladies who really didn't like you who exhibited the behavior? I can't tell from the way that sentence is constructed). After initiation, not easy at all for the sorority to terminate a member.
A non-initiate is a non-member. That's where you are. Now stating the obvious: did you contact the headquarters of the sorority with your question? Because that's the best place for an official answer.
IMO, that sorority membership ship sailed away, probably a long time ago. ETA: in your first post on GC you self-identified as "GPhi and Beta Sigma Phi" so I'm a little curious about that. Please tell me you're not misrepresenting yourself as an alumna of Gamma Phi Beta. That would not be good. At all.
