I guess what I should have mentioned also, is that at my university, it was a little more complicated than that. We have three sororities, two of which are national, and mine which is local. When it came time for our Panhellenic Council to write and vote on the new resolution, it was especially difficult for my sorority. We are a self-governed sorority and have been so for 103 years. Change is something that comes difficult to all fraternities and sororities, as we are based on tradition. But it comes especially hard to local chapters, which aren't used to having to follow what the other chapters do. The resolution did pass, as the national chapters HAD to vote yes, which left my sorority with a lot of upset members. I was in a tough position myself, as I am on the Panhellenic Council, and helped to create to resolution... and to pass it.
