i just wanted to know your opinions, are they going to hate me if i drop? i still would like to get invited to their parties and hang out with them but feel like i am going to be unwanted? i just don't know if it would be worth it.
thanks for your help
We can't tell you how someone else is going to feel about you leaving. That depends on your chapter and how they feel about it.

Also, depending on which sorority you're in, if are initiated and transfer schools (as long as you are in good standing) you are an alumna, which means you are still a sister, but not a collegian anymore.

I will say this, depending on the sorority, you won't be able to attend mixers and such because those are budgeted for those women who are paying dues to the chapter (you obviously won't be doing so because you are transfering).

I cannot speak as to whether they'll ignore you or not. However, do understand that the girls will move on and have other things to do, so it's possible that they won't all be like "OMG I miss undecided SOOOO much" all the time. It sometimes happens that women who transfer expect every single girl in the chapter to keep in touch all the time, and it's not always possible for them to do that. It doesn't always mean there are hard feelings though.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Are there any NPCs that force initiated members in good standing to terminate their membership upon transferring? I don't know the policies of all 26 NPCs, but no one has ever brought it up that their org had such a policy. I'd imagine that as long as you're an initiated member in good standing, you'll have alumnae status as a result of leaving your university.

Since you will be in the same town, you *might* be able to go to events, but you might have to pay for them individually.

If you want to keep in touch with your sisters, make an active effort to do that, instead of waiting around for them to come to you.
