As an Alpha Xi Delta alum, I'm taken aback by the internet petition.

Basically, private and internal chapter and national business has been aired on the internet, painting the sorority in a negative light - to the op, how can this help your situation?

(Based up the OP's posting ONLY) I am wondering if this was handled correctly. I am not an advisor and am not up on my policies and procedures as it relates to this type of infraction, but my chapter did have something similar happen 10 years ago and it was handled internally very differently.

Personally, I don't think this reflects on Alpha Xi Delta. The "joke" is definitely on the OP and the other freshmen women who thought this was a good idea.

If anything, it reminds our orgs that even with policies and procedures individual members will do silly things, especially young members who know little about life let alone about a GLO. Can't win 'em all....

ETA: I'm just talking about the petition, not the actual policies and procedures.

Seriously. If you're genuinely trying to get this girl reinstated and saying that she's a fine outstanding sister, find a different picture instead of one where it looks like she forgot to put on any pants.

Words fail me.

*shakes head in dismay*

Based on this passage (taken from the Alpha Xi Delta webpage specifically addressing its alcohol policy): "Failure to abide by law, regulation, policy, or Fraternity standards may be cause for membership release, suspension of membership, or discipline of the chapter in accordance with such Alpha Xi Delta policies." It sounds like suspension is not the same thing as termination. Regardless of whether the disciplinary action is permanent, however, it seems AXiD is pretty clear in its expectations. I can't believe the OP (or the sisters who made the petition for her, if that's what happened) thinks this petition will actually help her cause.

I wonder if we'll ever hear any updates from the OP.

I wonder why :rolleyes:

She's too busy shopping for pants and a sense of decency.

For the win.

Now if only there was a place to buy a sense of decency...

I'm pretty sure at Sam's you can buy decency wholesale. You have to be a member, though.

In case anyone is interested....

I found this girl on FB...it appears that she is still in her sorority.

Amazing..haha

Don't you mean amaXIing??

This reminds me of the quote "AXiD.. What else would you be??"

I just looked at the chapter's website and she isn't listed as a member.
