I know. What I meant was that if she resigned because of money, she might still have to pay for the semester. She would've if she'd been in my chapter.

Why does it seem like we are all much more concerned about this young lady remaining a Zeta Tau Alpha than SHE is?

I think one answer to this is because many of us have found extraordinarily rewarding alum experiences with our respective organizations and we might not have realized what we were giving up if we were in this young woman's position. It sounds like the "vp3" quoted something out of a membership guide that isn't really meant to be a biblical answer to every situation and HQ knows that and may regularly deal with these special situations in a different manner than what is spelled out in the membership guide. It would be a loss to any GLO for that org to lose out on someone permanently and not be able to use her as a future alum leader, advisor, etc. simply because she was put in a position where a well-meaning collegiate thought they only had a couple options and a simple call to an advisor or regional representative (please do this OP!) might present some other options.
