New Sister with a Chapter Problem

I can tell you for a fact that it's the big strong ones that bring in more money. It's sad, but it's true: a sorority is a business and money talks.

To the OP: I'm sorry you had to deal with this, I know what it's like to see you chapter close while you are an active. But, it's better then someone having gotten seriously hurt/died and facing legal action. I hope you can find a good alumnae association and be active in that way. With your questions, if you really don't want to contact HQ, maybe PM a member on here that is alumnae but still active and see if they can help you out? That's what I would do if I didn't want to call HQ.
