Think about what you truly are giving up and compare the value of your sorority lifetime membership to a sit down dinner at your formal-which won't matter to you 5 years from now.

Yes, you're right I have invested a lot of time and money these past 3 years. I think I overreacted a little. This is a new eboard that was just elected this fall, so maybe I can get some of the former exec board to teach them transparency. I really hope the meeting just goes well and they don't try to justify their actions. I'm glad they are at least giving me a chance to speak. It would make me really sad if one new executive board was the reason for my disaffiliation. I know my sisters wouldn't want to see me go.
