Yea, I know. I thought those posts were referring to pledges/NMs.

The point of pledgeship is (well, should be) a trial period to see if Greek life is for you or not.

The posts of mine and alumiyum's you quoted, we were referring to initiated members.
Got it.

My chapter has only had one person resign membership in our history, but he had no qualms returning his paraphernalia and ritual. Most actives don't turn in letters -- they stop being financial. And, like DrPhil said, our goal is to get them to become active again.

Five members can still run a chapter

But I understand where you're coming from.
