Not in our sorority.

Case in point...when a recolonization occurs, the former actives go alum. The sorority recolonizes, and the pledges become the only actives. Now, alum can be invited to social events, such as formals, but can't actively participate in recruitment, greek week functions, etc.

Exactly. I requested alum status 2 semesters before I actually graduated. One of the things EC told me was "once you change your membership status to alum, you can't go back to being a collegian."

I know of at least two girls from my chapter who transferred to a school without an AGD chapter, only to transfer again to a school that has one. For reasons unknown, they wanted to be collegians again (they were still undergrads), only to be told that they couldn't because they were already granted alum status.
