I'm guessing she's also trying to make a name for herself within her sorority (I don't mean that as crass as it sounds) and is hyper afraid of not doing everything right, but the fact is if she wants to "rise through the ranks" she has to learn to work with all kinds of people and chapters.
When you were elected president (when all of the officers were elected for that matter) how was the slate done? Did she basically say "I think ConcernedPres would be a great president" or was the slate completely created by the members without her input? Or were there 2 different people running for prez and she was more in favor of the other one instead of you?
I would make an effort to keep communication with her via email rather than phone or texts so it's clear exactly what is being said, and what she is doing and not doing. It sucks to have to CYA like that, but if there's a split in your exec board it may be all you can do.
I hope it all works out for you guys. |
This. It is a good habit to form now. You'll need it later in the business world. Contact your regional/network official that is a step above her. You are right. If she is leaving soon and your chapter hasn't been allowed to make decisions with her WATCHING with help when needed instead of doing everything for you, you may not do it right when she is gone. I'm sure she means no harm. Some Type A people really can't step back and watch others do when they can do it better...you know what I mean? I don't think you are over-reacting. There may be perfectly good reasons for her decisions, but they ALL should be discussed with your Exec Board. You'll never learn if you don't get your hands dirty. Good luck.
