Ohh God...Where Do I Even Start?!

Why do you have a rule you're not allowed on the second floor? That's where my room is!

Yay 3 year old bump.

Most sororities frown upon their members doing the walk of shame in the morning.

And most fraternity members adore it.

I'm not completely up on the rules of 2006, but I know we definitely depledged women (or urged them to depledge) who would NOT fit in with our sisterhood. Just off the top of my head, I can think of three.

When I was in school, a PNM didn't just have to be voted on to become a New Member, but also to be initiated, too. Is that the same?

No. At least, not for us. If we offer her a bid, the only way she's not going to be initiated is if she drops on her own free will. Though its probably POSSIBLE, I doubt it's likely in a 5-8 week period that someone would do something so bad that we would follow the process we would have to follow to suspend an initiated member - via chapter vote, advisor recommendation or Area facilitator recommendation, etc.

We've never had to vote on a NM being initiated, but two ways she wouldn't be initiated is if she didn't pass her written test or if she didn't take care of her financial obligations. I've never seen a NM NOT pass her test, but I've seen girls held over/dropped because they couldn't pay fees.

nope.

In Sigma, women who cause serious problems within the chapter do not have to be initiated, but in order for the chapter to depledge a new member our CC (regional advisor) needs to be involved. It's not a short and easy process and it's not something that should be used when you "just don't like" someone.

My chapter cancelled two new uninitiated members when I was in school. There was a third who came very close, was held over, initiated, and then the following semester had to be cancelled. I understand that sometimes girls we don't feel are a fit slip through, but in a way I am glad we can't arbitrarily cancel members without due process. I think the bad seeds have a way of causing hell and then "weeding" themselves out. Members like that don't tend to last very long.
