How does one respond to...

I recommend instructing them on how to leave all of the sorority properties that they have in their possession.

They can figure out the rest from there.

You know, you kind of acknowledged that this wasn't really your lane. NPC members generally have to be given permission to leave vs. being kicked out. Although granting the permission is preferable for all involved, it's not as simple as that. And individuals who might be expressing a desire to deactivate or depledge could have reasons that need addressing as a chapter or even at the university or HQ level.

It's taken more seriously than Leave Your Stuff and Get Out.

Yeah and that's why a thread in the general Greek Life forum should specify it is basically about the NPC.

The thing is, often when people start a thread like this, they don't realize that there may be lanes involved, so they don't know to specify.

She should take my advice and see where that leads her.

Sure but once you figured it out you're just kind of harassing the OP with advice that isn't relevant. It isn't a "stay in your own lane" thing as much as a "you realized it's not yours so don't treat it like it is"

Or the OP is smart just like you are and realizes that my jokingly serious response doesn't apply to what she's talking about. In the Greek Life forum where someone assumes that their question is a general one, those who can apply my advice are free to do so. It certainly isn't the first thread in which this has happened. Whooptydo.
