Here's the thing - if you are appealing the decision (to get your membership, or at least alumna status), then wearing your letters around when you were clearly asked not to, isn't going to help your case. If I were you, I would be on my very best behavior. (Edited to add: BossLadyAKA and I were replying at the same time. Great minds think alike.)

Also, part of the issue may stem from the idea that, even though you personally weren't participating in the negative behaviors, all members had a responsibility to report and/or put a stop to it.
