That was probably a bad example to use in this context, but I just wanted to point out that even if people DO try to self-terminate it can get shot down by the NO and they're still on the hook for dues, so they might as well try to work it out. Obviously this isn't the case with every group as there are stories of women terminating left and right because they're upperclassmen.
I feel like it's a little too easy for members to self terminate in some NPC's (mine included, if my understanding of the process is correct). On the other hand, if they TRULY do not want to be in my chapter, I want them to be able to leave.

I also have a "thing" about members self terminating and still wearing letters. I don't expect them to hand in the t-shirts they paid for or the jewelry their mother bought them, but I also expect that since they no longer want to represent my organization they will no longer wear my letters. Huge pet peeve.
