Yes, LunarWolf, let your Traveling Consultant and advisors know NOW!!!! I don't know how "set" their schedules are but they can probably get someone (even if it's other staff or another chapter) to come in and help you out for recruitment.
I believe AST requires a written letter to the chapter, then a vote, then some forms to be sent to the National Council. I would have someone *nice and gently* talk to the 2nd resignation to see what happened. Don' t focus on the "we really
need you for recruitment, etc", instead asked what made her feel uncomfortable, what could the chapter change, what improvements could she see for AST, is there anything that would make her stay with AST? I would also try NOT to argue about her answers....stay calm and listen (unless she says something totally false or that was a misunderstanding....then politely give her the correct info). The less of a conflict this is, the less chance she will be bitter and start ripping you guys to everyone else on campus. I would also focus on getting all of their (both resignations) AST belongings back ASAP....you don't want them to lose contact w/the chapter and have it become a wild goose chase. An advisor might be the best person to handle that part, depending on the relationship you have with the person.
In any case, stay cool, and good luck with this. It happens, and it's sad, but there is no need to turn it into a big mess. If you don't know how to get in touch with the Travelling Consultant (we haven't gotten our new directories yet), PM me and I'll email the DCC. OK?
