Usually I'm with S&S but I'm going to have to go with DeltAlumn and AGDee on this one.
That said, Shakodat, you said:

I agree with you to a point, but two points GeekyPenguin:
1) The chapter gave her a bid, and thus she is a sister. Membership selection criteria need to go up if this is the type of person who is coming into a chapter. Not YOU personally, but in general.
2) If this person has been consistently getting trashed, and drunk driving, why isn't someone getting them help, or if the chapter is not wanting to deal with the crap anymore, deactivating her for conduct unbecoming?
I just think we need to be responsible for those we call sister.

OK. No no no no no.
(1) Of course I don't need to describe the rush system in place now to you; you know rush is an absolute whirlwind of parties and best behavior and decisions and effort. Not exactly the best situation in which to get to know the innermost part of each girl.
That said, Gamma Phi Beta and every other panhellenic sorority have been holding women to the highest ideal of womanhood (whose motto is that?) for decades. And Gamma Phi Beta and every other panhellenic sorority have had women in their sisterhood who made bad decisions, who were in bad situations, and who didn't stand for everything the organization stands for. We're all trying to do the best we can, and improve each other however we can.
(2) GeekyPenguin didn't say
anything about the chapter's activity in all this. For all we know they had a gigantic intervention with 80 sisters and then took her bodily to a detox center where she escaped three hours later from the confines of her hospital room. Let's not jump all over somebody for admitting our great orgs. sometimes have a bad apple or two.
