I'm writing this for the perspective that Olivia_396 is a member of a sorority.
To all,
Cutting herself off from the sorority would not solve the problem. The hurt would still be there and she'd only be running from the issue. The thing to do, as others have said, would be to sit down with the women whom she feels have wronged her. I'm not saying today or tomorrow, but at some point in time, she needs to deal with these women and the pain she feels. In the meantime, this woman needs to allow herself to be surrounded by the THOUSANDS of POSITIVE members in her sorority. She needs to know that yes, what happened was inappropriate but it is by no means representative of the organization. This is not a time for the members to turn their backs on her, NOR is time for her to turn her back on the rest of the membership. It is a time to embrace her and show her what TRUE SISTERHOOD is and should be. It is a time for her to remember the words of the OATH that she took, of her own free will, to maintain a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to her sorority. The notion that she should just disassociate herself from something she wanted as a result of something she allowed to happen is, in MY OPINION, excuse my french, BULLSHIT. I don't know how anyone else treats their family, their SISTERS, their SORORS, but I don't let mine walk away when are hurting. I don't let them turn their back on me. I don't let them walk away with out resolving the issue.
"When my sister's in trouble, so am I."
And I'm done.
