I agree with you to a point, but two points GeekyPenguin:
1) The chapter gave her a bid, and thus she is a sister. Membership selection criteria need to go up if this is the type of person who is coming into a chapter. Not YOU personally, but in general.
2) If this person has been consistently getting trashed, and drunk driving, why isn't someone getting them help, or if the chapter is not wanting to deal with the crap anymore, deactivating her for conduct unbecoming?
I just think we need to be responsible for those we call sister.

I think I didn't make my point clearly enough. Say I have a sister named Jenny who is a perpetual drunk driver. She's on probation with our organization, and on probation with the school. We have told her that if she screws up one more time she's out, because her behavior is damaging and embarassing to us. This is not a one time situation, but a sister who is consistently partying, going out and getting trashed, and then driving home.
Why should I have to put my social life on hold to supervise her? Why should my parents be held liable because I chose to study and/or go out to dinner rather than follow her around while she is getting drunk to make sure she doesn't drive?
Yes, we should take care of each other - but in certain situations, it gets to the point where good officers resign rather than besmirch their family name or force their parents into financial ruin. Thankfully, I went alum before anything happened. Something similiar to that hypothetical situation happened in my chapter and I would hate that my parents were held financially liable because I was in class while somebody else was out drunk driving.
