That's true, but if you start banning what every sister wants to do in her letters, it starts to get a little ridiculous. Who is to say what is or is not appropriate. If someone is not breaking the law, being socially unacceptable or breaking pre-existing chapter rules, the complaining sister is pretty much screwed. It's pretty hard to make a new blanket rule/ban if no one is ready to vote one in. I don't see a ban being put into place by inter/nationals, either, if there isn't already one there, either.

Well, as I said, it would be something for the chapter to discuss, and then decide whether or not to draft and vote on an addition to the bylaws. I never suggested this for nationals or internationals.
