At least for my organization yes, if you are given alumna status, you cannot be a collegiate member again. It's the same status you're given if you transfer universities and the chapter does not vote you in as a member. But I think trying to transfer to a "stronger chapter" wouldn't look so hot.

There were so many other ways that nationals could have handled the situation, it really is sad. But I can't say that it's something I've never heard of before. I've heard story after story of 'strong' chapters at schools making their members who are bigger or not as 'attractive' stay in the kitchen or other rooms during rush so the PNMs don't see them. I think it's absolutely terrible but the concept isn't new, this just got very widely publicized because it was a struggling chapter and nationals got involved.
