In need of sisterly encouragement

Sisters, I think I am about to lose my mind! I love my chapter sisters dearly but a few of them are driving me nuts! It's not even my sisters that are driving me crazy, it's the entire chapter and how things are happening for the worst.

Okay, because some of my sisters refused to pay the $35 per person bill for our formal, EC decided to cancel it. We took a silent vote and the majority of the gang decided not to go. The sad thing is, we were going to have it with the TKEs so it was going to be such a great time. We had the hotel reserved and everything, but they voted before we had to turn in the deposit. Roseball was supposed to be an end of the year celebration...and just because my sisters have been so used to the "GHETTO" formals we've had before, they didn't want to pay the extra money to make it really nice this year. I'm not going to even talk about how they get oodles of $$$ from their parents.

And then today just made it worse. Here I was at home, airing out my sleeping bag for our Sisterhood Retreat this afternoon, and then I get a phone call saying that it's cancelled. Our Ritual and Risk Management Specialist sent in our forms well over a month ago and we still haven't heard anything from IHQ. In the event that IHQ was going to reject our retreat, they could've done so by replying back to our Ritual chair. But she hadn't heard anything as of this morning.

So here comes our Leadership Advisor (sorry, I know I shouldn't speak of any sister like this but she's resembling the Wicked Witch right now) and SHE CANCELS THE WHOLE THING. I can understand cancelling the retreat off campus because of technacilities, but we still wanted to have something, especially for the new girls, so I asked if we could have a sleepover on campus, possibly in one of the apartments. She flat out said no and refused to even do anything tonight. I feel that it's a shame...and our new girls this semester are really being robbed of the whole experience. I thought Advisors were supposed to help. The least she could've done was to find a way in which we could have something done for our new girls. She even refuses to schedule something smaller in the coming weeks.

Have any of you found yourselves and your chapter in the same situation? I just HAD to rant to someone!!!
