Pronormality is not finite-upper join-closed
This article gives the statement, and possibly proof, of a subgroup property (i.e., pronormal subgroup) not satisfying a subgroup metaproperty (i.e., finite-upper join-closed subgroup property).This also implies that it does not satisfy the subgroup metaproperty/metaproperties: Upper join-closed subgroup property (?), .

Let be the symmetric group on the set , be the subgroup comprising permutations on , be the subgroup comprising permutations on , and be the two-element subgroup generated by . Observe that:
- is a pronormal subgroup in both and . In fact, it is a maximal subgroup in both, and maximal implies pronormal.
- .
- is not pronormal in . That's because the subgroup generated by is a conjugate of , and these two subgroups are not conjugate in the subgroup they generate.
