New School, New Sorority?

My take on it: Some sister she is if she is failing to live up to her obligations by helping support the sisterhood financially and is instead letting the rest of the sisterhood take up the slack. Of course, as pretty much everyone here has said, if it's something like illness and the chapter knew what was going on, then surely a chapter should support and help her. But a sister (or brother) who just persistently fails to love up to obligations without a reasonable excuse? It seems to me that they're the ones who've given up on sisterhood (brotherhood). A chapter's expulsion is just making official what the "sister" has already in effect done.

Also, no one said anything about NPC vs. Non-NPC. I spoke of what MY sorority ONLY would do, not ALL non-NPC organizations, but I guess some of you did not process that.

The "I'm sorry" pretty much equals "No offense, but . . . ." Surely you're not surprised that NPCers "processed" what you wrote exactly the way you wrote it. It sure looks like you meant it the way everyone seems to have understood it.
