Help please!!
Hey Delta Zetas. I am at a lose of what to do. I know that a lot of you have probably been in this situation before and I hope that you can give me another sisterly perspective. I love all of our new members and they keep the flame burning for me. Everytime I see them, I get excited and I hope that they can have the same sorts of opportunities that I did when I was a new member. I feel like I have no one to talk to, because I don't want anyone else in my chapter knowing how I feel. I don't want the new members to get any sort of a negative vibe and I don't want to bring any of the active chapter members down. Plus, I don't want to tell my other friends (not in the chapter) because I don't want word to spread around the Greek Vine
I am just having a lot of problems with the advisors and the president. Every week, I leave meeting crying and upset. Yesterday I was told that I may not get my alumni status this semester, even though I am going to study abroad and will graduate college in Europe. I know that eventually, I will get it, but I am sad that I am not included in senior activities and probably won't be recognized at formal with all the other seniors. I know that I didn't get senior status (a pre alumni status, where we are not required to attend every meeting) and I can understand the advisor's perspective. Tonight, I received another e-mail, saying that the Panhellenic Council and University hazed the new member class because we had a Greek 101 that was three hours long and the new members couldn't snack or go to the bathroom during that time. This was such a lie. The new members could leave at anytime to attend to their business, plus the program gave the new members a fifteen minute break, plus five other breaks during workshop changes. Greek 101 is an educational program put on for all the new members in the entire greek system and it is University mandated- not Panhellenic. There were some other things in the letter that were not accurate either.
One of our alumni-advisors told me that I wasn't doing my job properly because I faxed something to her 12 hours late. This is the same advisor who told me that I needed to dedicate more time to Delta Zeta. I spent the evening helping a Delta Zeta, which is why I was late faxing her the documents.
It just seems that they have a vendetta against me and they know that I can't do anything about it because I am so close to graduating. As Delta Zeta's, please give me advice, so that I can handle these next two months. Thanks!!
