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

I was not told of payment plans or signing up for financial inactivity.
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.

I guess I will get in touch with our regional advisor and just ask her what to do now. And I could just give my stuff to the chapter since I can't use them anymore. It is indeed, sad to me that things had to end this way. If I could've, I would have avoided this to happen and done things differently. But it is okay. I still hold my fond memories of the good memories of my sorority!

Is that important?? Because our advisor never talked to me.

I would contact your regional advisor about it. In my organization an advisor has to sign the petition. That may not be the case in yours. YOur regional advisor will know and know how to best answer that for you.

Well, thank you for that! I will talk to my regional advisor and just accept the answer she gives me. Thank you for your help!

When you write/speak with advisors, ask if there is a way that you can be reinstated if you are current in your financial obligations (i.e. you pay your outstanding bill). Every organization is different. Present the facts of your case, do not blame, advocate positively and respectfully.

good luck!
