I've not even seen any paperwork. They made the decision after I had withdrew from the school.

So I take it my read on your situation was correct. I'm sorry that this happened to you. I suppose you are not able to join another sorority, but perhaps there are other women's groups that you can take part in at your new school. Not the same, but you might enjoy participating in something new.

Kudos to you!!

I think you should contact someone at HQ concerning a possible reinstatement.

However, I have ZERO desire to see this thread turn into a "OMG this sorority is EVIL." kind of deal.

Yes, everyone. In case you didn't read her entire post carefully, note the part I bolded above and read again what came before it:

So I stand by my "everyone."

You need to get in touch with HQ today and begin this process. You have gotten some wonderful, detailed info (see Zillini's post) regarding some steps you can take. This will involve more than a simple call to explain the circumstances, but I am sure you are up for the task.

We can tell you loved being in your sorority and want to continue that experience in whatever way possible.

I hope everyone will wish nicci8702 well and then sit back to wait on her progress reports....

It sounds like what might have happened was that there was a disconnect between the officers at your chapter and the advisors, since it is the advisors who told you that you had been terminated. The chapter officers might have just checked the wrong box when sending your paperwork, or something. Are your advisors actually at your campus or are they elsewhere?

If your chapter sisters wanted you out, they would have asked for your stuff back. It doesn't seem like this is the case - just incorrect reporting.

Are you sure you were completely terminated as a member or were placed on involuntary inactivity? Those are two completely different things.

I would take the advice of others who have posted here and contact your membership person at the HQ of this sorority. She should be able to clarify any terminology mix up and your actual standing as a member. She may also be able to get you reinstated as a member if it is determined a mix up has occurred.

Make sure you have documentation to present to HQ regarding your medical condition/making the chapter aware, any emails/paperwork between you and the chapter, and official school withdrawal papers. Not having those items available to present to HQ may make you and your claim less credible. Also familiarize yourself with your organizations bylaws both national and local regarding membership. This can also help make your case to HQ.

Nicci, I don't have any further advice to give- you have already gotten some excellent feedback- but I wanted to wish you well in your continued recovery and on your quest to hopefully re-activate with your sisterhood. Good luck!
