Resignation Etiquette?

[Lunarwolf]

Help me out here, because I'm a bit ticked off.

At the beginning of the summer, a sister sent out an email to our listserv with her resignation and deactivation notice. We were sad and hurt, but we understood it and in retrospect should've seen it coming.

Now we've just (RIGHT BEFORE RUSH WHEN WE NEED OUR MEMBERS THE MOST!) received yet *another* resignation letter, but this one is completely out of the blue. This sister had not talked to anyone that any of us are aware of, and pulled this one out of an imaginary hat somewhere north of Nowhere. We're pissed off, and I'm wondering if this is really acceptable and whether we have to accept an out of the blue email notice?

This is going to make us really, really shorthanded come recruitment time, and we're getting burned out from the various multiple duties we each have to shoulder. I am NOT a happy camper. *sigh*
