In this case, I wonder why the NMs could not have been given the option to A: stay, be initiated, finish out the semester and be given alumna status or B: leave and be able to join another sorority, From what I am getting from these comments, it sounds like for a lot of these students, AA was their last or only chance to experience sorority life. Even one semester is better than nothing.
People always talk about how sorority membership is for a lifetime, so here are 25 members that may have made great alumnae someday. I was in a chapter that closed shortly after I initiated (although I had a full school year- pledged in the fall of sophomore year, initiated at the beginning of spring and we closed at the end of that year), and for awhile, when I lived in a larger city with an active alumnae chapter, I was very involved with Chi Omega. I am still in touch with sisters from my college chapter today, which never re-opened.
