I realize it is old-fashioned of me, but I still believe that if you make a vow/promise, you should do all you can to honour it. EVEN when it is difficult. Otherwise, what's the point?

I agree.
It seems to be a case where someone made up her mind about what she wanted to do, and then did it. Because the group didn't catch her, she's eager to tell her story to others so that they too can learn that the rules don't really apply. Just because your GLO has rules and polices, you can ignore them, lie to them, and do what you want as long as you think you've got a good reason. Anyway, that's what her message seems to be to me, and I think it's a destructive one. If she really is working with chapters and helping her group, she'll probably see this soon enough when she runs into a younger version of herself.
