Regrets

[tornup]

So just to update everyone who was so helpful with their thoughts and suggestions. I tried talking with my chapter but was met with a big giant steel wall, so i called HQ just to ask questions and find out what the options were. The woman i talked to was incredibly nice and I also found out that a LOT more things that we do are not approved by HQ so it was very much an eye opener. Hopefully with new information I can try talking to my chapter again and push for change. Wish me Luck

How did your HQ react to what you say has been going on?

I only ask because I would *think* that if a HQ heard that their StateU chapter was doing things that were risk management issues, they would get in touch with someone closer (like a regional officer) to get with the chapter and figure things out.

I guess I'm just surprised that it sounds like your HQ is saying, "good luck!" to you after hearing one of their chapters is participating in activites that are not approved by HQ

Nooo they definitely reacted, the person I called is in charge of my region and they will be doing something she just couldn't tell me what exactly right away with out talking it over with her supervisor. I just didn't want to give out to much info since it is the internet. But it was definitely not just like "god speed and good luck" Hope that clarifies. . . If you want more detail you could always PM me.

Like I said before, I don't think from the way the OP describes it or the things she says that hazing or RM are issues here. if the problems were that horrible, unless the HQ is thousands of miles away, never sends traveling consultants and requires no chapter accountability whatsoever, a relatively recent initiate isn't telling them anything they don't know.

I'm not sure i can really respond to your post with out giving away specific info but you are entitled to you opinion and I mine. Also according to my sororities policies and constitution the things going on are not sanctioned or approved by nationals, this was confirmed by my conversation with HQ.

I'm not saying that what is going on isn't a RM issue - I'm saying your posts don't read that way to me. I know you want to not give away a lot of details, but comparing it w/ people who have come on here worried about hazing or drinking or such, it's just written differently.
