Oh, honey, we have all been there. Your chapter wants what is best for you, believe me, they really, really do. The problem is that they don't know the entire situation, and it is not fair to expect them to make a decision without all the facts.
I assume that you do not want to tell everyone about all your personal problems, so pick an officer or advisor you trust, and talk to her (your president, VP, or standards chair would all be good choices). Ask them to say something like, "Amy would prefer that details not be shared, but her situation is a special circumstance. In my opinion, as an elected officer of this chapter, we should allow her to go to formal. I hope that you trust my judgement and vote accordingly."
Most importantly, don't lose faith in your sisters.
