Wow Sarah, I really feel for you! I've actually seen similar situations in my own chapter (some for the same reasons, some not). I think Seniors in general have a really hard time adjusting to changes that occur in their chapter. I know my chapter has changed alot over the past few years and many of girls have a hard time changing with it. I don't know exactly what your situations is, but I can almost guarantee you that if you feel so strongly about this, that there are probably others that are "in the same boat."
Have you discussed this with anyone in your own chapter that you trust? Maybe someone else has dealt with the same situation and has overcome their feelings of discomfort...they may be able to provide some insight.
There is something I'm confused about...were you also involved with what happened between two sisters, or are you just uncomfortable about whatever happened? When people have made me uncomfortable with their decisions (this happens quite often due to my stance on many issues), I have just had to learn that not everyone thinks like me. Let me tell ya, it sounds like an elementary concept, but it's actually something that everyone finds difficulty accepting.
I've just recently had difficulty with someone concerning my office, and this person was/is causing me alot of problems. It was affecting my relationship with the girl. A sister gave me great advise- she simply told me to separate the two issues- my office and my friendship with the person.
I don't know if any of this helps, but I just wanted to let you know that others may feel (or felt in the past) the same as you. It's natural, but I hope it won't affect your relationship among all of your sisters. Your president is suppose to be impartial, maybe you could talk to her. Good luck and if you need anything, just say the word.
