Thanks everyone for responding!
There has been talk about not doing formal, but that wouldn't happen. I think we can work through the issues.
The panhel meeting isn't until next week, but its almost a for sure that COB will be moved up. Really it shouldn't be a problem at all, but its so frustrating here. Hopefully the fight will finally end...
and it is true if XYZ wants to focus on COB, then so be it. that is their choice. I think just the struggle with one group doing all the work to have another benefit just doesn't seem fair.
with the fining, it was a last resort, but a lot of XYZ's members are very vocal about not wanting to be out there, not caring and that sort of thing. Something should be done. I don't think its very 'panhellenic' of them to not participate in getting women to attend recruitment, but then take members.
but, if the group that rushes hard at formal, adopted this attitude too... things would be very pointless which ties back into just conducting COB instead of formal.
talk about unnecessary drama. sssesssh. But thanks again!
