Keeping anything XZY-related is dumb if you are going to disaffiliate.

Totaly agree!

What would it mean to them anyway other than to stir up drama?

I understand that not everyone terminates for a bad reason.

But the termination paperwork does not say "upon termination, member must surrender all lettered clothing/items UNLESS they only terminated for finances in which case they can keep the letters as a memento." The rules just DON'T say that. It clearly states in the paperwork that you have to give it back. Girls know from day one that if they depledge or terminate that they have to surrender everything.

For that reason, I don't agree with letting terminated members keep letters. If we let former members wear our letters, why don't we just hand them to random girls walking down the street?

My feeling is if you want to wear the letters so badly, stay in the sorority and try to work out whatever issue you're having or try to go alumna or inactive.

I do not know how may GLOs do have Hardship status for going Alum.

I am sure it has to be reviewed by each GLO and it does happen.

But while some are not happy with this, remember, there may be a time when each of us can run into a situation like this.

If they are deemed to be under Alum status, then they can wear Letters, Badges and not be able to participate in any functions.

Question?

If a member happens to get pregnant?

Is she forced to drop out of Active Chapter but continues in school and what is her status?

Why would she be forced to drop out of Active Chapter?

Some NPC sororities (not mine) require that women who either get pregnant or married as undergrads take alumna status. This topic has been talked about alot on GC actually.
