Thank you to everyone who has replied.
to DSTRen13:
I got an ASS and have been working for a few years. Now I'm 22 and about to start going to a new college next quarter, so I hope I'm not unreasonably old to turn back to greek involvement.
LatinaAlumna and 33girl:
The chapter I got myself involved in had been a local sorority that just became an NPC sorority the quarter before I came in. The impression that I was given over my pledge sister time was that they wanted the national name, but that they were going to still behave however they wished and ignore national rules. Hazing, kidnapping, drinking, they did all the things that nationals forbid. However, they were the only sorority on campus, so if you weren't aware of the conduct rules you wouldn't realize there was a problem. There have been many complaints by many sisters of that chapter, but they've managed to keep their charter and always deny anything brought against them. As such, all I could do was drop my letters as it was insisted that I was initiated. I do have a drop letter, but that's the best I think I will ever get.
I was told after my big dropped her own letters that their plan was to initiate as many girls as possible, and make them go inactive if they didn't like them (which seems to fit as they initiated me on paper and then put me down as inactive the next quarter). My guess would be that they wanted the extra name in their new membership count since it was their first NPC pledge class. From what I recall, my pledge dues covered the initiation process as well and the entire amount had been unrecoverable since I dropped out at such a late date.
