Sorry, my reading comprehension skills are bad tonight.

On their national webpage I found this link for alumnae chapters. Maybe you could get in touch with someone from your area?

It's also possible that now that you've said which group, someone with more knowledge could pm you.

Once you have "alumna" status, I am quite certain that you cannot revert back to "collegian" status (and you would have flipped over to "alumna" status once you left that school).

this is a little bit of a highjack: will any groups let a member who resigned as an active re-initiate though AI?

I recently learn of a situation in which a mom resigned while she was an undergraduate (not any kind of scandal but did resign), but now has a daughter in the group. And it just seemed a little sad to me that the mom couldn't participate as fully as if she had remained a member. I don't even know if the mom would want to. It just started me thinking about it.

What was her status upon separation? She would have to have taken alumna status if she were no longer active, but still on campus. If she went "inactive", did she disaffiliate, was she removed, or something like that?

I know what my GLO's policy is, as it is in our bylaws, and I am sure each sorority is different, but the answers to these questions would be important.

I've never talked to the mom about it. The term used as I heard the story was "de-sistered" which suggests intentional disaffiliation and termination of membership to me.

I tend to think the answer is no, but I was just wondering.

Some orgs may have a policy that if a member was suspended/expelled, after a certain time, she could petition to be reinstated. She should check with her HQ.

That's very promising. I don't even know how much it bothers the mom, but if I ever get a chance to talk to the people involved, I'll mention that possibility.

Good for you going back to school!!

You should contact Kappa Alpha Theta headquarters and ask them. They are the only ones who can answer questions about their membership policies. The rest of us have no clue whatsoever.

If you are in good standing, look into volunteering as an advisor in some capacity to the chapter. This would allow you to participate and make friends even if you aren't allowed to be a collegiate member. Many chapters actually have a hard time recruiting advisors and may really appreciate the help. Good luck.
