I know that there are people who do want to and that's their own business until it starts affecting me (drinking and driving, ruining my reputation because they're becoming legends...). Some of my best friends have been drinking since we came onto campus and that's their own business. It's just that when they're jeopardizing my reputation and my status as a member that I have a problem and think something needs to be done. I’m taking it to my advisors, but they just don’t care anymore. If action isn’t taken and they keep their behavior up, nationals may have to be notified. Sorry if this sounds “spiteful” to you, but if you can’t count on your leaders (advisors and executive board) to look out for the best interest of the chapter, who can you count on? Oh that’s right, only yourself.

The bolded and underlined statements make you seem jealous. Who cares about your reputation? How are they ruining your reputation?
The chapter I joined is TONS different now. And I've heard that there have been comments made about looks and appearance. Shallowness is going to happen in any selective organization. You can't change those people's opinions. Would I become a part of my chapter had I rushed now? Hell no. But they're my sisters and I have to accept that times and things change. If you're an older member, maybe it's time to let go and let the new girls take charge. Sometimes that's what happens when we get older.
