I'm fairly certain that for all NPC sororities, the term is technically "deactivating."

The term, for us anyway, is "resign."

Same here. We do say "depledge," though, to refer to the termination of membership for a non-initiated member.

In our case, it is NOT known as "de-anything". It is known as "relinquishing membership" or if still a Phi, then it is "breaking a pledge".

In Tri Sigma, the term for an initiated member who officially resigns is "termination".

I believe if a new member leaves, it is termed "depledging."
