delta sig question
by: Question
Question. I am a sister in Delta Sig that just got initiated, but I sort of regret not dropping. Given Delta Sig is NOT a formal panhellenic sorority, but just an NPC affiliate, am I allowed to drop out and re-rush next fall? Would my new chapter try and kick me out if its not against their rules specifically?
If not, then how were the girl's of AOPi allowed to even "make" a new sorority given they all have NPC status? This seems really hypocritical.
I'm not trying to diss my current chapter. Its great, just not for me, and I truly feel a more historically connected chapter with a larger alumni network would have been better for me. I know we have a lot of old AOPi local alumni who are very supportive, but I can't list AOPi on my resume, or use it to connect with sisters at other chapters. I was looking to join an organization for life, but this looks like it will only be 4 years+whatever time I spend with friends after.

Really, this cannot be a TRUE sister in Delta Sigma. There is no way anyone with your eventual intentions (of posting unbecoming snark against Delta Sig on greekrank or anywhere else) would have bothered initiating if you were an actual new member bid earlier this semester. Get a life and post your falsehoods elsewhere, troll.
Comment#3by: hypocritical?
The only hypocrite is you for initiating into our one local group then immediately wanting to drop and join a "real" sorority. Sorority membership is NEVER a game to play, it is a 'for life' proposition that women of purpose, character and dignity have joined for ages. Intentional musical chairs between sorority groups, be they local or national, is distinctly unkind and worrisome.

Interesting question. My guess answer on this one is that DS membership doesn't count as it isn't a member of NPC. So, if you want to deactivate and go through recruitment again it seems like it would be ok. It seems like you knew what you were getting into upfront so trying to leave now looks a little sus and shady. I also don't get why DS doesn't just try to affiliate with another NPC organization? This whole thing of being non NPC is confusing to PNMs that don't understand what exactly that means in the short and long term and really is no help to our community of NPC organizations. Very confusing situation. DS seems more like a housing based social organization/eating club vs a NPC. Don't see why they should be part of panhel at all. I know their situation was horrific last year but there must be a better option for them than being non affiliated. At a minimum though they shouldn't be part of panhel as they aren't NPC.

First of all, it's always best to actually speak to your chapter officers, big, or advisor and ask such basic questions internally instead of posting on such a website. Second, membership and status in relation to the greater Cal and PHC community was most definitely discussed before initiation - otherwise no one would've joined in the first place... Third, DS decided it was best for them to start local and do their own thing - who cares if they didn't want to join a NPC house???

Notrhiing is confusing about the DS situation to those willing to investigate instead of rumor-monger. Panhellenic has a firm understanding of the entire DS situation and has been very welcoming of their group. There are still DS students who previously initiated into AOII, and these women can never belong to another NPC group, so it may be a few years before DS would even be able to affiliate with any NPC should DS so desire. Quit trying to mess with what the women of DS have and what our panhel desires for and of them. Perhaps more people need to meet DS women and read their public DS websites for better influence as to what their organization wants for itself and what they bring to our community.
