How do NPC/IFC differ from NPHC on the subject of "Perps"?

[carnation]

Somewhere on GC in the past, I posted about going down the main drag with a tiny and elderly AKA alumna who saw some guys wearing her letters. Three of us had to grab her to keep her from jumping out of a moving car and going after them..you should have heard her screaming at them. She's been in the city chapter here for over 50 years--a super lady.

I bet. Some people get really upset by it. I have a friend who joined Tri-Delta (or she got a bid) and then dropped out. She still wears Delta t-shirts. I wonder how people feel about that. Is that seen the same as perping in your (as in everyone in this thread) eyes? Not sure how I feel about people wearing items after dropping out before or after initiation. I have never really come across too many perps but, then again-I never really ask if they belonged to the organization and when I see a girl wearing fraternity letters, I figure she must be dating some fraternity guy. Maybe I should ask next time. I never thought to do that.

Perp.

People who drop out after accepting a bid and people who are expelled are no longer members. Hopefully, members in good standing will have the nonmember put everything in a box to be picked up or sent back to the national headquarters.

Yep.

Still a perp.

Once you depledge or terminate your membership, our letters are not yours to wear/own anymore.

I'd imagine the same is true for the other NPCs as well.

Since I said "accept a bid and then drop out," this includes people who were never duly initiated and people whose initiation has been resended (for lack of a better word LOL).

rant/I will note that women who have been expelled by nhq are tolerated by some members more than women who depledged themselves. I don't tolerate any of them heifers--put your stuff in a box and send it back. Just keep your memories. I am more polite to those who chose to depledge and send their stuff back VERSUS women who did something heinous enough to get expelled./end rant

Yeah, termination = being "expelled" after Initiation. The same term is used to describe someone who CHOOSES to end their membership.

At any rate, I echo your sentiments. Keep your memories. Return all other items. No I couldn't care less if you paid for them (which is usually the main argument for attempting to keep the stuff).
