Update
Well, I talked to several of the girls about sticking it out for one more year and i think they all said "if you want to pay my dues, i'll be happy to stay." Unfortunately a few of them turned in their pins on Sunday. I think one or two went in just to talk to HB and hopefully they worked something out with dues.
What kind of dues do other chapters have for seniors? When the women lived in the house it was cheaper to pay rent and dues there than it is just to pay rent for an apartment around here. However most had to move out because they had to get up early for aforementioned internships etc. and it really wasn't convenient to have a roommate and try to get to bed early with 40 other women milling around at night, etc.
I've considered going to HB and seeing if they can reduce rent and other expenses (we still have to pay part of the rent on the house, even if we don't live there, and it's a pretty expensive amount) for seniors who have fufilled their housing obligations. Our chapter does need money pretty badly, but the way I see it at least you're getting some money from 10 or so members than no money at all because those 10 members turned in their pins.
dgtxalum - are you an ATC/RCS? would this be possible? i guess it's a little late for my friends but maybe in the future they can prevent this from happening.
