I don't think she's a definite troll - but I do think "ignore" is a good word to use. She acts as if the advice she has received (especially from fellow ZTAs) wasn't even posted - her response is to talk about what her chapter sisters have said and feel, even though it has been spelled out to her that they are not the final authority.
I also do think it fair to say that everyone has made it clear that OF COURSE ZTA is a lower priority than her upcoming marriage and child - but the reality is that if she drops, that's it, cupcake. Years from now, when her child is older and she is in a position to be an active alumna, she will not have that option. If you love something - ANYTHING - you will not let it go without a fight. Hence my perhaps harsh "so-called love" statement. I don't want her to throw away something so valuable without realizing that is what she is doing. I think it has been made clear to her that 1.) early alum IS AN OPTION if she is willing to make a few phone calls and that 2.) if she drops, that is it. She will no longer be a ZTA. That's all we can do - tell her the realities and let her make her own, adult choice.
I honestly hope her actions, whatever they are, will ultimately make her happy, and wish her the best of luck with the rest of her life.
