Oh...suspension basically means kicked out as in I'm no longer a sister :[
She said that I got suspended for breaking the law.
In our constitution/bylaws, it says that a collegiate member may have her membership suspended for conduct detrimental to the best interests of the fraternity considered too serious for probabtion. (I know that even though it's for drinking, it's not under the reasons for automatic suspension)
For alcohol use policies, it says that chapters are expected to abide by federal, state, and local laws and university policies...[...]

That kind of sounds like your answer. But like others have said you can always appeal.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to appeal, but I just don't think the National Council will reverse it..it says that the appeal may be denied only by a four-sevenths (4/7) vote of the National Council. It's just not looking too good for me...

Posting an online petition about your case doesn't show much discretion, sweetheart. I'm sure the folks at your HQ are thrilled about your enthusiasm.

To be fair, it's not a petition, it's a general inquiry seeking the advice of people she assumed would have more inside information. It's not like she made a group on Facebook called "The Petition to Get Bhudda Belly Back Into XYZ" where everybody who saw it would automatically know her real name and the identity of her org.
To the OP: Good luck, dear. With the legal troubles AND with the sorority woes. To any naysayers: remember that membership is lifelong, not just a collegiate enrichment. So even though this might become just a "blip on the radar," it could also be a lasting wound.

Actually, that's EXACTLY what she did, I'm just not providing the link.

Just playing the Devil's Advocate here, but that petition says it's sponsored by "the sisters of" her org, not herself personally. Maybe she didn't start it?
