Issue with a Troublesome PNM

Thanks for your reply! Our sisters before us did not do the Tri Sigma name justice; so, our reputation on campus has not been the best. This year, we've come very far, and we're worried that this PNM will hurt us by slandering us to the rest of the women on campus. It sounds terrible, but our main concern is "deal with" her.

I've dealt with a slightly similar situation, in which we did not give a bid to a girl, and she was extremely upset. We had heard that she said horrible things about our chapter. The fact is, you can't really do anything about what she says to other people. And to be honest, if it's only her talking poorly about you, chances are that other people will notice this, and maybe they'll start to look at her differently, rather than think your chapter is filled with terrible people. Plus, if they know she's insulted her own friends and has tried to join your chapter numerous times, on your tiny campus, I'm sure word will spread quickly that it's not you, but rather her that has the problem.

It won't get better if you keep dissing your own alumnae.

Definitely make COB events invite only - even without nutso PNM, letting anyone attend who wants to or hears about it makes your chapter look desperate.

It also won't get you much alumnae support.
