Deactivating me or putting me on "alumna" status would be the LAST thing they would do, and I am 100% sure about this. I'm sorry, ladies, but I just don't get NPC sororities sometimes.

To the original poster, I am very glad to hear that you are better and are going back to school.

It wasn't just the one line... it was the context of it. You went on for a couple of sentences implying that that this sorority must be so awful for deactivating or putting on alumna status because of the circumstances and then ended it with "I don't get NPC sororities sometimes" which further implies that all NPC sororities care about is money and just go around deactivating members for no good reason without telling them and that there are not NPC chapters who care about their members enough to visit/send cards/fund raise for sick sisters when clearly there have been examples of such.

I know enough about GLOs to know that not all of them are the same and not all of the umbrella organizations operate the same either and therefore wouldn't need to throw out a "I just don't GET < insert whatever type of GLO here >" statement. I may not understand how or why they operate, but I do know whatever they do works for them, so I will just leave them be and not question it
