I think it's really easy to sit back an judge someone for the choices they made. No one knows what life is like in a chapter but the people who are in the chapter. I'm sure Skiing Sister felt she was in an impossible situation. I'm glad you were able to see that the value of your sorority went beyond the one chapter you were having trouble with. Unfortunately, people don't always have the choice to do the honorable thing...like early alum status. Wouldn't paying dues and being a nonexistent sister also be "bad?" I know when I was a junior, I was getting ready to apply for medical school. I couldn't spend enough time "changing" my sorority even if I despirately wanted to. Your schooling has to come first. As for the "letter girls," everyone has different reasons for joining a sorority...it doesn't effect why I joined or my commitment to my group's ritual. To each her own!
