Ahh, jacket sisters. Only joined to sport the jacket. You know someone's a jacket sister when the "friends with all the sisters" guy, who practically lives at the house, sees her and says "who in blue blazes is that?"
I agree with what shadokat says, to terminate the dead weight, and we had nationals advise us to do that, but then they also turned around and told us to keep our numbers up. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Also, you need to weigh the intention as much as the action. I've seen sisters who couldn't come to a lot of things, but they always turned in valid excuses, always were contrite that they couldn't be there, and were still there for other sisters. Then I've seen other sisters who may have had the excuses, but didn't seem to be upset and let other sisters down time and time again, emotionally speaking. If a sister's the latter kind, I'd say, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
