YES YES YES. I admire her intentions - to ensure that the image that Greeks put forth is a positive one. But unless your constitution and bylaws give her authority over you, she has none. And she cannot enforce any sort of punishment or fine over you or your chapter unless it is written down and voted upon and passed by the members of Panhellenic.

In fact, this it has disaster written all over it with sorority women putting up inflammatory stuff just to see what she would do about it. I agree with others, don't be her friend, set it to private, and wait. In the meantime, make sure you have told your sorority's Chapter Advisor and/or Panhellenic Advisor (I don't mean campus Greek advisor, I mean the alumna of your sorority that works with Panhellenic officers). Then go to the Panhellenic Inter/National officer in your sorority. Surely you have someone on a level between chapters and actual NPC Delegates. Not necessarily to fight it, but to at least make her aware of the situation should something come up in the future - like this person filing an NPC infraction on your chapter and trying to levy consequences without being permitted to do so by constitution and bylaws.

I hate when people get on power trips. Especially when they try and impose their personal issues on my business. Ugh. I feel for you!
