"that is the opinion of one person, not the chapter."
Is it? The original post isn't perfectly clear on this point, but it left me with the impression that Blue Violet was speaking to the president of the "single letter chapter." The president is a highly visible and powerful leader in any organization. She serves as spokesperson and figurehead. When she speaks about sorority matters, she will indeed be viewed as the voice of the chapter.
This was not a heart-to-heart talk with a close friend. Blue Violet and the other president were conducting official sorority business. If a recognized leader within the organization is attempting to make racial separation a criterion for membership, that's a gigantic problem.
I'm no expert in dealing with national headquarters. But if a sister of mine made it clear that her racism was impacting the way she was handling sorority business, I'd be speed-dialing nationals, and to hell with the consequences. They need to know exactly who is in charge of that single-letter chapter. Last I checked, no NPC group included hatred and ignorance among the values the sorority is supposed to promote.
