Yes, it may seem a little unfair to me, since I was very confused about my situation and never had the opportunity to talk to an advisor about my problem. However, it is understandable to me. I did know that I would have consequences and I understand why.
But now, it is a new year, and the chapter president has not contacted me once about anything post-termination. I would like to ask her questions about my situation of my responsibilities now. Should I contact her now if she's not contacting me?

YOu arent a member anymore so she is no longer obligated to stay in touch with you about your membership status. At this point, I would get in touch with a regional advisor or your HQ and deal with it on that level, accept the answer they give you, and move on.

wasn't asking which chapter, just wanted to be sure the advice was pertinent to the organization.

I was made aware of my financial responsibilities during new member meeting. The problem was my financial inactivity during the second semester of college.
Unfortunately, an advisor never came to talk to me about my situation.
I was not given the option of resigning, I actually thought of doing it myself. When I told my chapter president, however, they spent two months convincing me not to resign.
I was aware that the chapter budget is based on the members and instability really affects our budget.
I was given notice twice about my financial delinquency and was let know by my treasurer that if I did not pay, I would face financial expulsion, which I was prepared for in case they really did expel me. I was really insure what to think.
In my final letter, the national president sent me a letter of financial expulsion and asked for my badge and my membership card. I still have my shirts, since I only have two, One from initiation and one bought. I've stored the rest of my sorority items that I have.
Not that it matters, but your statements about your financial inactivity conflict.

Bottom line: you've been terminated for financial reasons. You need to pursue this with your own organization and proceed according to their policies. Good luck...

As for the "rest of the sorority items" you have, perhaps you can return them as well, since they no longer hold any meaning for you.

Ah! I didnt notice that. If you were on financial inactivity an advisor had to have some kind of contact with you about it I would assume as I would think an advisor would have to sign off on the paperwork.
