By the way, I do take exception to the subtle insinuation that I am somehow not doing my job as an advisor by disagreeing with some of the new ways. Plain and simple; I think that things were much better back when. This doesn't mean that I am not holding my girls to the rules that are in place, this doesn't mean that I sit around telling them about the old days and how much better it was......I take excellent care of my girls and their welfare is of the utmost importance to me. I am actually known as one of the more hardcore advisors in terms of taking issues seriously and making sure that the rules are followed.
Sometimes girls I am particularly close to in the chapter will ask me how things were done in my time, or how things were. I answer very honestly....I also don't always keep my opinion to myself about things.....but the girls know that I expect them to handle the policies they live under and follow them.
Me calling up nationals and telling them I disagree with the way things are isn't going to change anything. If the girls hear about how things used to be and decide among themselves to ask for reimplementation of old rules, that's their option and they probably would have more luck. A lot of these changes had to be voted on by chapters.....they are the ones who have to live with them.
I'm not trying to attack anyone here.....I just want it crystal clear that though I prefer the way things used to be doesn't mean that I'm not taking my responsibility seriously.
