But that's just in NOT everyone was satisfied, and in fact it seems as if there were some who are very far from satisfied. This isn't necessarily a criticism of your group/chapter, but in dealing with undergraduate members of various GLOs I find that often younger adults have very little understanding or comprehension of how their decisions affect other people. While you alumnae were not on campus and didn't have to make the actual decision, they are very much involved.
The fact that you put a notice in a quarterly newsletter is "interesting" in that you pretty much admit it was too late by the time any of the alumnae would've found out. That isn't considerate or responsible, imo.
Just a question (more rhetorical than one in which I expect an actual answer from), when you say "we" who exactly are you talking about. Where you on the committees that sent out these letters, newsletter articles, etc.? I ask because I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but the things that others have said weren't done and your counterclaims that they were lead me to believe there was a certain disconnect in these efforts.

I think the above statement is a bit melodramatic. To say that people are against Kappa is a bit much. It's more like a frowning upon the decisions made/how things were handled. And if you truly knew and prepared for people not agreeing with your decision, then this thread and some of the sentiments expressed should not be a surprise.
