Did your chapter start as an interest group on campus, or was the colonization from the ground up - i.e. national officers and volunteers came to the campus and chose the charter members?
As far as the girl dropping, your membership chairman or VP or whatever she is should have definitely followed chain of command and informed you, even if the chapter is huge.

Doing my best to not give myself away, it has been long enough for us to participate in a formal recruitment, but we have been established for less than a year. I know it is not very long, but I come from a school that is not necessarily easy to get into. We are all the type of people who are ready to take control and are used to being busy and having a lot on our plate. I don't know if she was maybe trained to be around chapters that could potentially need a little more hand-holding? But I've realized that our students truly do better when they are on their own. We prefer that actually. :P
We were colonized by our national officer coming to campus and choosing the charter members, and she was FANTASTIC for us during our new member period. But once we were established and had been through recruitment, I realized how truly unprepared we were. She will be gone at the end of this semester and because of all of the decisions she has been making for us as opposed to assisting us with, my biggest fear is that we are going to be so disorganized when she leaves that'll it'll be insane to clean up. Not to mention slightly clueless.
