My chapter has 6 wonderful sisters representing us as Rho Chis this fall. Although i am very proud that they are representing us well, i am kinda sad about disaffiliation. Maybe that is why your sisters dont want you to do it, they cant stand the fact that they wouldnt be able to speak to u at school. For us, there are certain rules a Rho Chi must follow: she CANT wear any letters or have any sorority nalia on them. Also they cant speak to any sister in school, if they are going to hang out with sisters the sisters cant be wearing any letters and neither can the Rho Chi. I think this is so that the rushees can feel comfortable tlaking about any of their concerns or ideas about the sororities without offending anyone.. its really hard to not talk to a sister. My chapter is VERY close and having 6 sisters is going to be a hard task

Talk to ur chapter and find out why they have such strong concerns against you being a Rho Chi. Overall i have heard it is a very rewarding expierence. Good Luck to u
