I was never set up on a billing plan to this very day. I've emailed them before at least twice about the situation and still nothing has been set up. I joined beginning of last semester and it is now approaching the end of spring semester. I also have no had access to the website where chapter announcements are made so I was deprived of numerous chapter events especially the mandatory ones. My chapter also posts things on facebook but there's so much going on that I would have to search through stacks of posts just to get to the important information. Most of the time I would find out too late. I have tried to get on this website but they keep telling me they have to hear back from nationals before I can have an account and they will contact me. (It's been 8 months....) My chapter also works on a point system and I was unable to go to formal because I supposedly didn't have "nearly enough points" the girl said but when I tried adding them up myself I felt as though I was at least close to the requirement. But I have no idea how to verify this because I have no access to the website or the google doc where points are held. Clearly nothing is being done to make sure every member is up to speed on everything, I am a prime example.
Thank you those who have made it this far listening to my rant.
A few questions I want answered are:
Since I plan on withdrawal, Am I legally required to pay dues and fines incurred if i have no account with the online billing system? Where would they be keeping this information anyways?
If I do have to pay is there a way to dispute that since I never signed a contract or given them any financial information of mine?
I really do not want to pay anything for this chapter because I honestly have not gone to much of anything except chapter and a couple sisterhood events. I know that might sound unsisterly but I feel like I was deprived of so much that If I do pay fees I would be paying for something I never experience.

I can understand your frustration. Are you absolutely SURE you want to give up your membership? It sounds like you have not been an official member if this chapter. Can't you simply change your mind and not affiliate?
