Also, she is officially dropping the sorority at the end of this semester.

What do you all think?
#1: Since she's dropping the sorority at the end of the semester, the problem is pretty much going to be solved in a few weeks, right? Just maintain your dignity, steer clear of her as much as possible, and as others have said try for special bonding relationships with other members.

#2: Maybe I was brought up incorrectly, but I was under the impression that the proper response to a gift was "thank you." Even if you hate it. Specifying exactly what you want from someone makes it not really a gift, but more an obligation. Rejecting a gift and demanding something else is something I would think of as socially improper. But that's just me.
