If I was friends with any people in her NPHC sorority who had nothing to do with the school (like physically distant high school friends) I might bring it up casually with them? With vagueness/details depending on how close I was with her.
So ... your first reaction would be to train-wreck the situation, but only if it couldn't be traced back directly to you?

That ... sucks.

What? No, I meant that my first reaction would be to do something drastic about it but the smart part of my brain would rule that out. I meant "queen of CallingPeopleOutOnTheirShitBecauseICan'tStandItWhe nPeopleGetAwayWithLying/BreakingRules/BeingRude-ica" as a negative trait that gets me in trouble on a semi-regular basis, not like something I'm proud of.

If I still felt like I couldn't just sit there and do absolutely nothing, I might mention it to a friend in that group, if I had a friend in that group. A few girls from my high school "circle" joined NPHC groups and we keep in touch. With one of the girls I'm close to I might just come out and say "our Greek life director is a whatever, but she joined an NPC before she joined y'all. It's kind of freaking me out, since NPC is so adamant on no cross-initiation. Am I just being weird about this?" and she'd probably either go a.) "Oh, I can't talk about that," b.) "Uh, wtf? That's not okay," or c.) "Yeah you are, that's fine by us" and I'd move on. If it was a group with a friend that I was less close/open with, I might start a conversation just generally on the topic since for us it's pretty common to discuss the differences conferences/groups. Maybe that's unusual, but most of the girls I know who went Greek all keep in touch still. This would still be snooping around and would probably still get me on people's shit lists, but hey, it's a trait I'm working on.
