I'm so sorry about your chapter. It truly is like a death in the family.

I've never heard of a chapter closing and all members being expelled, but I'm sure it's happened before. The circumstances must have been truly egregious - I admit, I'm very curious.

But if the national president told you personally that legal action would be taken if you identified yourself in any way with the sorority, then I would say it's pretty certain the sorority would not be shy about prosecuting. It's conceivable that the sorority could demand all goods with their copyrighted symbols, letters and emblems.

Wear your stuff in private, if you must, but start collecting some new garments.

I don't think that's how the law works.

I swear to God, I thought the last sentence from the OP would be, "Since I was technically never in this sorority can I join another NPC?"

Nope, I still want to be able to represent the sorority that I was in because it was something I've always been proud of.
