I'm fairly certain that for all NPC sororities, the term is technically "deactivating."

The term, for us anyway, is "resign."

In our case, it is NOT known as "de-anything". It is known as "relinquishing membership" or if still a Phi, then it is "breaking a pledge".

In Tri Sigma, the term for an initiated member who officially resigns is "termination".
I believe if a new member leaves, it is termed "depledging."

I really agree with this person!! I had a terrible Big who made it difficult for me to do a lot of my pledge-related duties. She wasn't very supportive at all and she even got me into trouble a few times for things that she did! But in the end I just stayed clear of her and she ended up dropping out of the sorority right after I became active. Now I hardly even think about it because the rest of my pledge experience was so enjoyable except for that, and it worked itself out anyway.

Ultimately your big does not have to be your best friend in a sorority... it is just someone that you looked up to at the time. As time goes on you may look up to different people anyways just form a special bond with other sisters in your sorority. She is the one who is being petty about a gift.

I "adopted" a little who found herself in a similar situation... she and her big just didn't see eye to eye. She became a wonderful part of my family (along with three other littles I love dearly) and her original big never said a word about it. It's been over 10 years and she is still one of my favorite sisters!
Hang in there -- if you love your chapter, please don't let one woman ruin it for you!
