Unless I was hurting someone's feelings directly, I would not edit my site. I too have a journal and post things that may or may not be deemed "appropritate" by others and while I don't have my organization listed as an interest, I do belong to a community for its members, so it wouldn't be hard for anyone to figure it out if she wanted. If someone contacted me the way you were contacted, I would probably reply just as you did. I've been reading your journal for a long time, and I think you are nothing but an asset to Alpha Gamma Delta, and anyone who would say otherwise is mistaken. You have a real life that you're living, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and for someone to say otherwise is just judgmental and, I think, not at all sisterly. The beauty of having sisters around the world is that we are all so different, and we'd be better off to appreciate our differences even when we don't necessarily understand them.
On the other hand, and on a somewhat related tangent -- I used to use a signature on GC that contained my letters but I stopped, not because anyone asked me to but because I became uncomfortable with it. I say some controversial things from time to time, and I don't want any of that to reflect on my sisters who may or may not agree with me. I've also read things posted by others with which I clearly do not agree and that I don't want to reflect on me, if that makes sense. I guess to me there's a difference between using letters in a GC signature and listing an interest in your LJ.
