Sorority suspended before initiation

They told us that we are technically no longer "new members" but I am confused as to whether or not we are still bound to our commitment.

Also, this IS a national sorority.

Call your sorority's HQ. All 26 NPC sororities have websites with contact information. They will be able to help you and answer your questions.

ETA: I am only talking NPC, not NPHC or any other (inter)national sorority. I try to only talk about what I know. And not get annoyed.

In the same boat. Even if it isn't NPC, it might behoove you to talk with the (inter)national headquarters. Or try your greek life office.

I thought I had figured out the chapter, but it turns out that the guessed chapter didn't participate in recruitment this year. Hmmm, back to the drawing board.

Does this story make sense to anybody? How could a sorority get suspended because of something one pledge did? I mean all the ones I could find in google that were recently suspended had some history of bad stuff and probation and reviews and things before it happened. Sometimes I think I am always confused here!

I'm sure there's more to the story - and probably a lot more. The proliferation of information in chapters can be highly inaccurate, especially in regards to risk management and corrective action.

I don't mean to discredit the OP, just pointing out that information from HQ/the university is not often reliably transferred from chapter leaderships to general members.

There's not much more to the story as far as I know. It is an NPC sorority. Obviously, I cannot go into specific details but the school is small and very strict and the reason that the sorority has been suspended is because they need to have a judicial hearing which will take a couple months and they can't continue our new member process because of the hearing. Honestly, the whole reason for suspension would be laughed at at another school, it is ridiculous. Nonetheless, the sorority is suspended and we are no longer new members. It is really a very confusing story and it seems to be out of the ordinary for a sorority. I appreciate everyones input and I will definitely go talk to the greek advisor and also national in order to get more information. Thanks for everyones help!
