Dropped my sorority...can I be resinstated @ my new school?

You will have to go through recruitment again. You were never initiated and therefore are not bound to Tri Delt, nor are they bound to you. NPC rules state that you are free to go through recruitment and join any sorority that offers you a bid. You have no reason to contact Tri Delt nationals, nor should you contact the chapters at your future potential campuses.

Your rec writer may address it directly with the chapter at your future school by saying you pledged Tri Delt at your old school and have an affection for the sorority and are excited to meet the Tri Delts at new school.

Gotcha. Makes total sense. Thank you for the insight!!! So glad I know this now, before doing something that I would potentially regret later!!!

I wouldn't bring it up that you pledged DDD. The sororities might think you might quit again.

Yup. And they might think you will have financial issues again.

You do not have to tell me twice. After the treatment I have received from these girls, I want absolutely NOTHING to do with tri delta, or greek life. I am extremely discouraged to even rush again at my new school.

Was anybody else puzzled by the contrasting quotes--the love, then the hate for her sorority and Greek life?

No, not puzzled at all. The posts were a week apart. She probably didn’t get a good reaction to her dropping for whatever reason, which is why I always say to make sure to explain your actions to the WHOLE group in situations like this. Don’t trust that the president or advisor or whoever is going to do it adequately for you.

Not puzzled, but taking it in stride as just another example of how a young person can so quickly change a mindset (or actually be a troll, looking to keep a thread going).
