So, not to say you should take the easy way out, but transferring to another school and affiliating with another chapter is a possible option. Think about it.

I'd just drop out of the sorority and put my attention on the big picture: doing the things that will make you a successful job candidate/grad school candidate once you have your degree. A sorority is supposed to be a fun experience. If you're not having any fun, and you know the other members and the advisory board (or in this case, the one adviser) won't back you, I think you're wasting your time.

Sorry, GC'ers. I agree, if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem, yada yada, but I'm a big believer that you have to do what is best for yourself. Sometimes that means diving in and becoming part of the leadership for your Greek organization. Other times, it means walking away.

So - when there is a problem with your future place of employment, or in graduate school, you just walk away? Sometimes, yes, it isn't worth the effort, and you should walk away - but sometimes, you want to demonstrate that you have what it takes to tackle a challenging situation. All that leadership training NPC GLOs talk about? It has real-world worth. It may be that the this situation is what empowers the op to trust herself and her ability to change a group dynamic from something negative to something positive. Only she can judge - but I think she should think long and hard before totally throwing in the towel.

At this point, it's not long before the officer election process begins. If you can get elected to an office - maybe not an executive board-level job, but any job - you can truly begin to change things.
You can also begin asking some questions about why the chapter is not complying with the sorority's constitution, bylaws or policies. And don't take "we've always done it this way" as an answer.
Be nice, be positive, be encouraging, and smile! But keep asking those questions.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

If someone wants to transfer schools, it'd better be for academic reasons.

Not all sorority chapters accept transfer sisters who wish to affiliate. I've seen my own chapter sisters have a hard time getting along with chapters they wished to affiliated with. IT IS NOT ALWAYS AN OPTION.

To the OP, remember that college is just for a few short years. Your sisterhood lasts a lifetime. It's not always going to be this way, trust me.
