I think it depends what kind of stand it is. If AXD decided to change its philanthropy from children to, say, National Alliance Against Colds, I would think it's a foolish choice, but it wouldn't cause me to give up my membership. There's a reason most GLOs pick philanthropies that, while they don't excite every single member, don't offend anyone (who is against children, or the elderly, or against fighting cancer?).
AXD makes decisions often that aren't those that I (with my limited perspective as only a member) would make. Why do we colonize at X, why do we close at Y? Why do we do progam Z? But because of the inclusive nature of a sorority, I find it hard to imagine that they would take any stance that many members would find objectionable enough to quit over. If they decide make their philanthropy one of the political parties, if they decide we're only accepting members of a certain religion, members would depart en masse - but that isn't going to happen.
