Not vote for it "because the other sisters want it." Nothing ruins a chapter's reputation faster then not showing up 4 things you have committed to, especially mixers. If there are sisters who are continually not showing up, they need to go in front of the Standards Board. If the behavior continues they need to be terminated. Too many chapters get to a struggling point because they explain away someone's lack of commitment by saying she's a good person, blah blah blah. That may be true. She may be a fabulous person. It may also be that the responsibilities of sorority life just aren't for her. If as you said in your other posts, you really weren't allowed to be choosy during rush, you have to do it now. The point is that you can't afford to have deadweight who is contributing nothing to the chapter.

Agree about only voting "yes" if you're going to go. However, the sister who never goes to mixers should not be characterized automatically as "deadweight". She may be busting her butt at other things, and mixers aren't her thing. Since most mixers are with other greeks, they're the LEAST important "responsibility of sorority life" I can think of. These women may be the very sisters who bring in their study group members, their other classmates, their brother's girlfriend -- those people with whom they can grow into one-on-one relationships.
