that is so so sad.

i disagree with the people who are saying these girls weren't loyal Chi Omegas... bear in mind, you're reading her journal. while not neccessarily private, i dont know how exactly it came to be posted on here - we don't know if she meant for so many people to be reading her thoughts and feelings on the issue. she struck me as very upset and just trying to work through how she felt about the issue. that's what journals are for, right? working through your feelings.

also, i got the impression that she wrote that entry VERY shortly after all this happened... just because she is upset and feeling betrayed by something that obviously meant a lot to her. give these girls some time to sort out their understandably conflicting feelings about Chi O before you go and say that they aren't loyal to their organization.

when i read what was required of them to keep their charter, it made me so sad. you can't honestly keep a chapter under conditions like that. can you imagine the dilema of telling people that during rush? hey, join our chapter, but we're basically going to HAVE chapter and that's about it. i mean, people want to have sisterhood, but they also want to have social events, and formals, and have the option to skip chapter if they've got work to do. we had a chapter on our campus that was on social probation during one year, and when some of my friends joined the house and found out, they felt like they had been lied to because they didn't tell them during rush. but they stuck it out because it was only one year... but "indefinite"... that's tough. sorority is supposed to be a learning experience, but it's also supposed to be fun.

anyway, i do hope that something good happens for those girls...
