I have to agree with you on that...

KABilly-I also Agree with that as well

If you had a friend who was always blowing you off to hang out with other people, would you still want to be their friend? No. There's nothing wrong with having a life outside of your GLO, but you should respect your sisters enough to be there when they need you.

It sounds like you already know for sure why she's been skipping. If you don't, definitely talk to her first. She could have a legit reason (having to work a lot, trouble at school) but if she doesn't, "see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya."

I think pledges who aren't completely committed to the chapter can turn around ... provided that they're willing to at least meet their obligations. I was one of those pledges myself. Sure, I never missed a meeting, I learned about my GLO, but I never felt like I was really a part of it. I didn't hang out with my sisters or party with them. There was even a point when I thought about going inactive. Now, that changed for me later, and I became a very active sister. So it is possible to a sister to turn her attitude around.

But someone who doesn't even do the minimum that's required of her probably won't. Come on, I can't buy that she doesn't know what is expected of her. She must know that she is supposed to go to new member meetings, and I doubt that the fact that there will be a test has not been communicated to her.

The pledge period is a trial period, for both the new member and the chapter. She may be having doubts about her choice. Maybe what she needs is for a couple of sisters to reach out to her and show her they care and talk frankly about her responsibilities. After the excitement of rush, the most outgoing, enthusiastic new sisters can integrate so fast that the other new members wonder why they aren't at home so fast, too; she has to realize it's OK not to want to come in and immediately announce that some day she will be president. Or maybe there is a family/personal problem distracting her. Or maybe she really will decide that XYZ or Greek life isn't for her.

My point is that just ignoring her lack of sisterhood won't help, and just giving her the boot might lose the chapter a good sister. She and the chapter need to make a decision, but it needs to be an informed one.

Have a talk, find out where she stands! If she is apathetic now then whe will be an apotheic Active. There are enuff of those any way!

The 80-20 rule:

80% do not do the work while 20 % do!

She is either in for the yards or she is out in less than an inch!
