Some questions first....

They were initiated while you were gone, but are mostly seniors and are graduating at the end of this school year? Unusual, but not unheard of, I guess.

What about your Big? Did you have a "Kite Sis" or "Twin Star" who you bonded with during your new member period? What about the other girls in your pledge class? Did you get a chance to bond with them prior to taking your inactive status?

Just curious, it's none of my business, but why did you take a year off? Did you study abroad? But you and the boyfriend both taking a year off makes me wonder if that's not a part of the rumor mill problems.

And while I don't know your whole story, staying "inactive" may not be an option after one year. You either become active again, you ask for early alum status, or you resign your membership. If the latter is not an option (and really, it shouldn't be. They may be your sisters, but don't let them shove you out of the sisterhood), then go to someone whom you can trust and who can actually do something about it. If need be, contact an Advisor if nothing comes from your other attempts.
