Unfortunately, I think this is a common problem for seniors - especially in larger chapters where there's a lot of other members who can seemingly absorb a few losses. As a senior I think it's hard to see the bigger picture, when a life-time commitment to a sorority is not one's biggest concern - graduating, grades, and career take more precedence. The only advice I can really give is to help them see the bigger picture, and tell them that their 3 years so far and the money they've spent on being members will be all for not if they go inactive. It's like they're quitting something they committed to when they were first initiated. That may fall on deaf ears, but it may strike a cord that it's worth sticking it out a few more months in order to have a lifetime ahead where they can proudly call themselves DGs.
Good luck, and please let us know how it turns out!
