OBviously you can attend any meetings that fit your schedule. They happen weekly. I am sure you posses a chapter calendar so you can go to those events also.
If they shceduled some social time with you, well you said you didn't want that anyway . . . I can see why you might be a little miffed at cancellations . . . but in the grand sceme of things that doesn't seem that important given that you can see them formally weekly.
Also I am not sure feeling unappreciated is fair . . what have you done for them that they should feel grateful for?
Thats not a jab at you, but i have noticed that some advisors feel that their mere presence should generate some type of affectionate gratitude.
So what is there to be firm about?
Also, that invitation of hanging out with the sisters was very nice of them not indicative of rejection. It wouldn't be reliving the college experience for you, it would be giving you an experience you didn't have.
If anything you rejected them and their good hearted offer.

For the record, they have given me absolutely nothing as far as paperwork, calendar, contact list, etc. I do not know when the meetings are because they get changed at times. I was going to go up last week to a meeting and the president called me and told me not to bother because it wasn't going to be a real meeting. She said that the next week would be more effective. This week arrives and the same thing happened, told me not to attend, it would not be worth it.
I don't feel as though I rejected them, I just thought my position was to be that of an advisor. The only rejections I gave were because I was asked to go out with them with an hours notice.
I feel unappreciated because they asked for my help, and I am there to help them yet they are not reciprocating. I am getting absolutely no feedback or communication with them. All I asked for was a contact list so I can get in touch with sisters when I needed to and meeting minutes. I asked for this 2 months ago.
