Pledge Class Issue
As anyone who read my recruitment story will know, I am a recently initiated member of Delta Gamma. During my new member period, I was also elected to be "leader" of my pledge class.
There is a girl in my pledge class who caused a LOT of problems throughout our new member period. She is recent transfer, and is technically a junior, although she expects to be here an extra year. The rest of my PC is predominantly freshmen. This girl, because of her age difference to us, spent nearly the entire new member period acting like she she should be in charge of everything. Examples:
1) After a sisterhood retreat at the home of an alumna, our PC decided to get the alumna flowers and a gift card as a "thank you" present for her hospitality. Junior went out, bought a ridiculously expensive flower arrangement for the alumna, and expected the rest of us to reimburse her. She subsequently acted as if we were being rude by giving her hard time about it (we had NOT seen the flowers before she bought them or approved an appropriate price-per-girl)
2) She constantly talked about how she couldn't wait to go to bars with the of-age sisters (she is 22, the rest of us are 18-19). When we suggested that perhaps she should be as excited to hang out with us, she scoffed and basically said that she couldn't wait to be "in" so she could hang out with people "her own age."
Now that the new member period is over, and there are not so many sisterhood events where all pledges are required to be together, most girls in my PC have no interest in ever seeing this girl again. However, my chapter is big on having "pledge class" dinners and nights out, and I don't want things to be awkward. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to repair the rift?
