If you've contacted someone at your international HQ, and no one has responded personally to you, reattempt to contact HQ, inform them that the issue has not been resolved through the previously attempted avenues and ask if you can speak with someone higher up the food chain. At this point, it sounds like you have nothing to lose.

And definitely tell them that the advisors are not doing their jobs, because they're not.

And if that does not work, your school should have an ombudsman (someone within the school's administration that serves as an advocate for the students) that should be able to contact HQ on your behalf. Frankly, no HQ wants to receive a call from the university's administration regarding possible mistreatment or lack of due process etc.

Now because of the nature of GLOs, and the potential sensitive/confidential nature of your issues, the ombudsman may not be able to take up some/all of your specific issues. However, they can request that you receive a return phone call or email from the HQ. Or even have you in the room when they make that call.

Ombudsman to HQ: "I have gvgrl87 in my office and *we* would like to set up a time when you or someone from HQ can talk with her regarding her concerns."

I wanted to add to this, from re-reading the thread:

Instead of talking to people at headquarters, call the VP of collegians (or whatever it is called in your org) or someone else on your sorority's national council DIRECTLY, at their home.

The employees at headquarters do not necessarily have the same authority to do things that Council does.

I wouldn't ordinarily advise this but it sounds like you're getting the runaround from someone at HQ who isn't sure what to do.
