another advisor issue
I didn't think to ask you all about this until I saw the other post about advisors, but I was hoping that some of you could provide some insight about a problem i am having. basically, there is this advisor (our recruitment advisor) that just hates me (or, at least appeared to).
from the minute i met her, at a meeting in which i was helping plan one of our days at recruitment, she was nothing but downright mean to me. i commented on something i thought some other sororities had done better while I was goign through recruitment, and she made some snide remark in front of a large group of people along the lines of "if you hate us so much, why did you join anyway?!" i was blown away.. i was just giving some constructive criticism (WHICH I WAS ASKED TO DO) about one of our days.
anyway, i digress. i dont want to give too many details in case she could possibly be reading this, but several months ago she pulled me aside, accusing me of something that i truly had not done. its really hard to describe without giving more details, but basically i did something that was perfectly fine to do, ,and she thought that some other stuff occured with it that would have without a doubt made it not fine at all. however, i did NOT do the other stuff. i really didn't. it is something terrible that i would never, ever have done. i tried to explain that to her and she kept interrupting me, yelling at me, and telling me that i did it. i was actually crying when i left the meeting.
since then, i figured that it was no big deal, and that she'd just forget about it. i have since learned, however, that she has mentioned it to at least THREE other girls in my chapter, including my big sister who graduated a year ago (when she came back for an alum weekend). i have NO idea how many people she has told - i am in a gigantic chapter, and obviously the girls that i am closer with have asked me about it, but i honestly dont know about others - i dont want to go around asking people - and i don't even feel comfortable in my chapter anymore. i just feel horrible about everything: that she would attack me in this manner FOR NO REASON, that anyone would think i would do something so terrible, and that i dont even know who knows about it, so i can't do damage control.
i would honestly probably disaffiliate if i weren't graduating in a month, but i am. i also do not want to bring it to personnel, because our personnel chair is brainwashed by the advisor and clearly thinks i did it (she was present when the advisor confronted me). do you think there is anything i can do about this to make my last month as an active any better? or should i just try to forget about it and move on with my life after graduation?
i would really appreciate any input.. this is just bothering me so much.
