When I was in school, the sorority chapters were fairly large. People who voluntarily cancelled their membership or who were kicked out often had already burned their bridges and/or cut ties with the organization at the time of cancellation. They retained the friends they wished. No one went out of their way to hate the person or to strike up friendship anymore than would be normal.

For members who went financially inactive for the school year, it was the same.

If you quit your sorority, chances are you weren't terribly involved in the first place and you quit because you weren't getting anything out of it. I can't imagine you'd be missed too much because no one knew you or you dropped off the radar.


We called it membership cancellation if you were no longer a member, and inactivity if you were temporarily on financial leave due to emergency or study abroad. The inactive members were still members, but not entitled to partake in membership activities for the remainder of the school year. Deactivation sounds like something you can flip on and off at will. Membership cancellation is permanent.
