I don't doubt your intentions, I am just letting you know that the process is easier as an undergrad.

Actually the process is identical as an alumna as it is a collegiate member, no matter when you relinquished your membership. (I have helped several "misguided" sisters find their way back home ) You don't need to affliated with a local chapter, but it doesn't hurt.

You must fill out an application in detail, pay a reactivation fee and submit this all to the National Council. It is with unanimous agreement of the National Council that reinstatement can happen.

Contact the National Headquarters for more information.

News!!!

I e-mailed the national director of membership for Phi Mu a day or two after I started this thread. I didn't hear back from her and had basically given up...BUT, I just checked my e-mail and I had a reply from her! I have to pay the balance I owed my chapter at the time I quit, and she gave me an address to where I could send it. Once I do that, the National Executive Committee will consider my request.

I won't be able to afford it probably until after I graduate, but I'm definitely saving that e-mail so I can get the ball rolling further in May. I am so, so, so excited about this!

Actually, the first step in the process would be to contact the National Heaquarters and check your status.

If you left your chapter owing a balance, you would have to take care of that before you would even be considered for reinstatement.

After that, you should write a letter to the National Council outlining your reasons for resigning and why you want to come back and mail it to the National Headquarters. The letter you write will be presented to NC for review at one of their meetings throughout the year.

The process can take several months since NC only meets 2-3 times per year.

If approved, there is usually a reinstatement fee required. Also, I would hope you would get involved in your local alumnae chapter or chapter association.

National Council meets in person quarterly. They are in constant contact with each other and the HQ via email and conference phone calls.

There is a DETAILED form to complete and a reinstatement fee that must be sent WITH the form, even before it is on the NC agenda. Contact the HQ to obtain the form. As I said before, I have helped several sisters return HOME after their temporary insanity.

[zenobia1852]

There is no form and any reinstatement fee is not due with any form.

Call the HQ for correct information.
