those first stories sounded very similar to mine, but unfortunately there wasn't an advisor in my case.

i feel like the reason i'm making such a fuss about this and having a hard time accepting accusations and consequences is mostly because of that.

had all the proceedings of my discipline followed procedure properly, been supervised by an expert/unbiased party like an advisor, and i had been explained what the issues were with valid evidence and adequate detail, it'd still suck to be in trouble, but i'd accept it because i felt like i deserved it since the policies were followed and i got punished, fair and square.

i guess its too hard for me to swallow my pride and be like "yup i was guilty of everything, totally responsible, they're totally right" when i know for a fact my case was misrepresented and included accusations of things i didn't do.

if i was guilty of something, i'd take the blame. but when you don't agree your guilty, it's hard not to fight back

No.

Just, no. You still don't get it. Now you're contradicting yourself all over the place.

Woke up this morning with a huge knot on my forehead. Realized it came from beating my head against the brick wall that is sweetheart272.

Usually, early alumna status is given to people in extreme circumstances or circumstances that are beyond their control. I know chapters that absorb local sororities and give the original members early alumna status or chapters that allow early alumna status to members in programs that go beyond 4 or 5 years. It can also depend upon a person's major and if they are in something like pre-pharmacy that, at a school near me, does not offer a B.S. but, sends a student straight to graduate school after year 2.

OP, you kind of made something that was "confidential" into something public by coming on a public site. I say this because I've watched people who are being considered for termination speak up on social media sites and further smear the name of their sisters without mentioning school or organization. Once you look at their profile, it is easy to determine what school or organization to which they belong.

do you feel that is the case in my situation?

i don't feel there's any identifying information anywhere, short of identifying factors like "member up for discipline" (me) and campus with non-residential sororities… which is also many.

i do realize the risks of posting on a site, however anonymously, but as i said i exhausted all other resources accessible to me and i am glad i approached this site because you all helped me gain perspective.

it was never my intention to identify anyone or anything, so i hope i've maintained anonymity as much as i have attempted to
