I'm with you on this. Frankly, if I got a letter from a girl I'd never met in a chapter I didn't particularly like saying that a PNM had done something awful (trashed the sister's room, stolen something, etc.), I would absolutely consider that. If it were something like, "Polly PNM doesn't hold up the values of sisterhood," I'd throw it in the trash and laugh. I'm inclined to believe this story is true, but that some MAJOR details of what went down to incite the letter have been omitted.

This story is flawed - whether the poster is a troll or there are various facts missing or things are inflated. I come from a campus that had a smaller greek population when I was an undergrad. Most of the sorority women knew and had friends in other groups. If someone was released early on by the majority of groups it was because all the groups believed that the PNM was undesirable for whatever reason (valid reasons or not).

My guess is that this PNM did something that in the eyes of her DZ roomate/hallmate/suitemate was inappropriate. The roomate/hallmate/suitemant shared the story with her chapter and her friends in other chapters prior to recruitment. Rumors spread and probably were blown out of proportion. I'm having a hard time believing that there was a mysterious "letter" written and shared throughout the panhellenic community and to the "Greek Life Higher Ups" and kept in her greek life permanent record that prevented her from being invited back to subsequent parties.

The Panhellenic Pres ("friend") as a cover up for knowing why the PNM was really released from her chapter (but can probable speculate it was the same reason the other chapters released her). While she might not agree with what happened, she can't do anything about it and she can't share membership selection info so its easier for her to hide behind the mysterious "letter".

Please excuse me if my post doesn't make sense. I have a cold and am all medicine head right now
