Wow. A couple of thoughts after reading AXOmom's link...
1. There are always two sides to every story, so it's hard to know who's to blame for what. However, regardless of how things got to the point they did, it's clear that Lyon would never fit into the chapter after her letter/paper was read to the chapter. I don't know what Sigma's policies are in terms of active members in this unfortunate situation going alum, but it seems like that could've somewhat solved the problem. Still, it's sad that, even if that was the chosen path, Lyon would never get the sorority experience she was looking for in college.
2. I would be so completely humiliated if my mom went to National HQ on my behalf. I'd have enough of a hard time if she made a phone call, but to GO THERE?!? Wow.
I feel bad for everyone involved. The article reads like there was friction between Lyon and several sisters from the get-go. It's sad that it escalated to this point. What a waste of what's supposed to be such a fun and positive experience.
