If you visit www.npcwomen.org, you will see that what many of these US sororities are really about. There are also NPHC sororities (different from NPC), and other independent sororities throughout the US.

I guess sarcasm doesn't exist in Germany

Not to be mean to her, but a lot of times, sarcasm really does get "lost in translation." I know that when I translate from French to English it is sometimes difficult to understand the true meaning of what is being said; the subtle nuances don't go through, and you can't "read between the lines." I'm just trying to figure out if she is here to really learn information about American sororities, or if she is here to proliferate stereotypes... Sorry for the hijack!

It's tough to recommend much without more details, but it may be the best way to tackle the issue is to have a meeting/workshop on the issue for the whole chapter. That way, the two who are the problem don't feel singled out. If their problem is one of education, then the workshop should help. If not, well, then you may have to tackle it with the two individuals. Again, without details we are all kinda taking stabs in the dark.
