Have any of you ever had problems with your big sis or lil sis?
My big sis and lil sis no longer talk to me. They both quit Theta this semester, yet still think of themselves as good Thetas, because they know the ritual and that they shouldnt give back anything with their letters or the crest on it.
Both of them took jobs and began working lots of hours last spring. Eventhough they were required to ask off work 6 weeks in advance(they worked at the hospital), some things they werent able to attend, but other things they knew enough in advance to attend, especially meeting. Neither of them came to rush workshop this summer, or to rush. While one shouldve been excused from rush for a family emergency which required her to be in Florida, the other just worked. Both said they could no longer afford to be in Theta and without having trying to get put on payment plan first, one just quit and didnt attempt for financial inactivity, and the other tried for financial inactivity and was not granted it. They both got mad at Theta saying Theta wasnt their for them when they needed sisters and support. Well my opinion is, for the sisters that did know their problems, they were instructed not to say anything to anyone else, therefore the majority of the sisters were in the dark abotu what was going on. Neither of them made efforts to find out what they missed in meetings, or to make an effort to come to what they could come to, therefore the chapter impression on them was that they werent contributing as much as the others were to the chapter. While I am sympathetic to their situations, they did not like it that i pointed out valid reasons as to why they are not looked highly on by the chapter, and why the other was not granted financial inactivity (her attitude last spring and the latter part of last fall probably also played a part in it as well). It saddens me that they do not talk to me anymore (they both live together). Since they became my big and my lil i have always envisioned them being in my wedding
I was wondering what other Thetas here thought about this situation.
