I'm not really saying this to anyone in particular, but have you ever had to pledge loyalty to one group and then have to pledge loyalty to another? I don't mean I pledged an NPC and now I'm pledging a APO or anything like that. I mean have you pledged one sorority and had to pledge to another one? I have. I pledged my loyalty to Alpha Theta Phi and then 6 months later, I had to pledge loyalty to Delta Delta Delta. It was one of most difficult things that I, and many of my sisters, had to do. I pledged a local, only to find out 3 weeks later that we needed to find an national because of our local NPC's decision to expand after not allowing it for almost 2 years. The day of our initiation into Tri Delta, I was torn. I had been part of a group, a group because it was so young, I knew very well and had helped mold. I knew the women who created our ritual, and respected them and the ritual maybe more because it was amazing.
My point is, don't throw this women into a group of "how dare they! they pledged one group and are now pledging loyalty to another group!" because if you are going to throw that line around, you might as well say the same thing about people who pledge two different organizations. I'm sure these women didn't take either pledge lightly. They wanted more than KGB offered, but at the same time, I'm sure they still were upset at having to come to that conclusion. From the moment I joined my local, I knew it would only be a matter of time before we outgrew it and kind of in the back of my mind always knew the group would become national I just didn't think it would happen so quickly.
