It's great to be a Rho Chi. I was one (and also pledged through COB), and it is a lot of hard work but I also found it rewarding. Have you stopped to think that maybe your sisters don't want you to be a Rho Chi because they think you'd be a better asset to the Chapter during recruitment at your events? As an advisor, I always have mental conflicts when some of my stronger recruiters want to be Rho Chi's. I hate losing them during the events because they are so good at conversation and present themselves very well during the events.
The very qualities that the chapter doesn't want to lose during your events may be the very qualities that will make you a great Rho Chi.
Take it as a compliment that they want you to represent the chapter as a chapter member to the potential members and not as a Rho Chi.
If you really do want to be a Rho Chi, keep my points in mind and then come up with an argument as to why you could be just as much of an asset to the chapter as a Rho Chi... your list could include things like how well you would represent your chapter (once they are allowed to know which chapter you are in) as well as other points.
Good luck! I know that you will do a great job either way.
