And from what I understand, the chapters had a vote, although most of the girls in at least 2 of the chapters had no idea that this had changed. I've talked to a few girls in my chapter, and I've emailed a few sisters that I know in another chapter, and they didn't know that this was being decided upon.
From what I can tell from the girls that were there, it was brought up in the last Panhellenic meeting (from a suggestion by the GA), and they voted on it then without discussing it with their individual chapters.
Actually, at the beginning of the semester, we had a problem with bidding transfer students. Everyone later found out that the GA simply wanted to restrict it, but there was absolutely nothing stating that it couldn’t be done. Through questions and “protest” from each of the chapters, she changed it and allowed us to bid transfers.
Also, she is VERY selective in who she likes. She has a strong bias toward one chapter (the largest one) because of the rivalry her chapter had with them at her alma mater. She LOVES the past Pres of my chapter who graduated last semester, but she clearly does not like one of our other members who is one of our more motivated and active sisters. She asked her and another sister why they were at a small get-together for commuter students on the day before school started. This sister said, “Because I’m a commuter.” She then told the two of them that the event was only for freshmen (it wasn’t) and said they shouldn’t be there. Then she asked them why they were wearing letters (duh!), and they said because they were going to the Greek event that was starting shortly. The GA said they shouldn’t be wearing letters there (why she would say this, I don’t know!). And at one of the Greek Week events this semester, she told this one sister that she couldn’t sign in and earn points for our chapter (the higher percentage of your chapter members who attend events, the more points you get). This sister asked her why, and she said, “You just can’t.” Other people outside of our chapter have even heard that she doesn’t like this one member, and it’s founded on absolutely nothing. And I’ve heard that she is this way with other chapters’ members, also.
No one is thrilled that she's in this position, and I think that she attempts to take control where she can. She is extremely nice to the Presidents of each chapter, she is very nice to me and to other advisors as far as I can tell, but beyond that, she is very selective.
And I highly doubt she contacted any kind of rep from Panhellenic.
