This is DEFINITELY the case on my non-deferred campus. Not uncommon at all. These girls sometimes still wear letters/have their org in their activites on facebook/still have it on their resume for potential employers! I have a lot of problems with people quitting an organization that CHOSE THEM just out of boredom or lack of social schedule. Financial reasons I can understand, that situation is just sad.

Many many times, people want to be able to say they're XYZs and still hang out with XYZs without having to pay dues, paprticipate, etc. Hence why girls terminate their membership and keep that stuff on FB and still refer to girls as their "sisters."

The funny thing about these girls, is that after college, some of them will be the ones claiming that their kids are "legacies." Or they'll email the chapter asking why they didn't get a Homecoming invite or something. Then they get indignant when you tell them that they actually aren't XYZs anymore. lol.
