She assured us she was, and then a semester later she resigned. It just makes me really sad.

luckily- you girls tried to help her and talk to her...
a friend of mine at school went through her pledge program and knew from the first day that it wasn't for her. However, that particular sorority is notorious for really pressuring girls to stay in- using awful tactics such as spreading rumours, following them, and making their lives a living hell. i've seen it in action- i know for a fact- as awful as it is.
so... my friend had to pay 800 dollars- go through pledging (which was hell) and on the night she got in... she handed in her deactivation letter. She was forced to change schools b/c she would never be left alone if she stayed. In this case, my friend did deactivate but
she felt she had no choice. she had to get through the process and then leave...
even if she didn't have a gun to her head... i still saw what this did to her. she knew it was hazing but when the sisters were even following her roommate around- who was pledging my sorority- we knew there was something seriously wrong.
i guess i'm just saying that sometimes there are exceptions...
