But I wonder--wouldn't it be worse if we, GLOs, lost the right to decide who our members are? Wouldn't it be worse if we didn't have a right to be autonomous and run our organizations by our own values? (This is also why many orgs are resistant to university efforts for values congruence relationship statements etc.)
We need to protect our rights.

This whole debacle is not about our rights to decide who our members are. It's about how we treat those who already ARE members. It's about how much we can call ourselves sisterhoods and how much we should admit we are businesses.
This chapter has been in the state it was in, or should I say the tier it was on, for a long time. Did DZ really think they would be able to blow in and recolonize and have the perfect chapter for the centennial in a year's space of time?? At a school with 2500 students?? If they were really that worried about the chapter being around and healthy for the centennial, they should have done a recolonization and an image overhaul LONG before this.
