We had to make our decision based on our experiences and whether we thought the situation would improve. And since the assurances we were given that it would were the exact same assurances we’d been receiving for years — without the situation improving — we elected, unanimously, to ask for disaffiliation.

This is sort of the problem right here. NPC absorbtion is definitely not something I'm very familiar with, however, I think it relates to chapter issues/operations in general across all GLOs. Undergrads always think of college as an end all be all. Baring an early death or intentional disaffiliation, you will be an alumna of your sorority WAAAAAAAAAY longer than you will be an undergrad member. I can't recall the length of time KBG was at F&M, but all of that history was sort of lost once you ladies decided as a chapter to leave.
Does KBG "technically" still have the chapter at F&M? (By this I mean is it like their former chapter there closed because there is no one currently OR is it there is no longer ABC chapter of KBG at F&M for good)
No one here can tell you what you do and don't have a right to feel regarding your former organization. However, women that come to F&M no longer have the option to choose KBG. So in that way, I can see how some might view it as selfish, because you ladies decided what you wanted (not saying that your points aren't valid) in the immediate future, superceeded the history behind you and the future before you.
