At the beginning of this year in our chapter, our standards board was able to kick out an officer that they felt was not doing an adequate job (not for "standards"-related behavior, either -- it had to do with a decision she made for her office) even though the entire rest of the chapter disagreed with them. When we called our advisor about it she basically told us that we had no recourse because Tri Delta's national policies were set up to let standards could do whatever they wanted and they couldn't be changed -- not okay.
We got over the drama, but a lot of people became disillusioned and frustrated with national policies that they perceived as being "unfair" (including me, could you tell?  ) and it all could have been avoided if we'd just been given a chance to contest standard's decision.

Ditto on that point. Also the way our election/slating (whatever you want to call it) is ran. Don't like it at all. Caused much drama in our chapter...not sure we'll be over it any time soon.
