Are the sisters who hang out with her sisters who would be partying anyway? I mean you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. It almost sounds like they're saying "Annie Alumna talked me into it" when they would have done it anyway.

Does she have a lot of friends among other chapter alumnae? If so, you need to tread very lightly or you might alienate a lot of people.

You've gone through all the channels you can go through as far as sorority protocol, and it still hasn't helped the problem, so obviously the only other thing that could be done is to have her terminated, and it's VERY hard to do that to an alumna. And even if you did - she might just blow it off and say "oh this is nationals being bitches, I'm still your sister!"

Honestly, it sounds like she's just absolutely unhappy with her life and wants to be back in college. I'm having a little bit of that myself right now (and I'm that age) so I know how she feels.

If she has other friends who were in the chapter, maybe see if you can get her reconnected with them and they can hang out together - because believe me, she'll have far more fun doing that than she will hanging out w/ 20 year olds.
