Alright, just to clarify my last post, I referred to "Big Sister" in the metaphorical 1984 sense. Not the OP's big sister. I can see where that wouldn't make any sense, lol.

Continuing my response, ch2tf, you said exactly what I was thinking and are way more eloquent. I don't believe that I have a "low threshold for dirt," or that the OP's concerns are not valid in any way. But there is a better way to remedy the situation in this case. I think it's great that the OP has been able to confide in you about her situation, but this really is not a convo for the Internet.

And as for additional posters in similar situations who are already in the extension process who have taken it upon themselves to be the GC rep. for their institution's proceedings, well, I feel being so vocal about those issues can make things more difficult to fix.

Dr. Phil, I agree with you in the fact that the best course of action is to turn to the powers that be regarding this - chapter advisors, the Panhellenic Council/Association and NHQ representatives are the ones who have the power to remedy the situation, regardless of whether the campus opens for extension or not. There is obvious concern in the entire community regarding LOTS of issues, and they need to take action to rectify the situation rather than let it get worst.

Regardless of all this, I am not on that campus and I can't make assumptions. So, anon5, I wish you the best of luck in the situation; I encourage you to see what you can do to empower positive change in your community before it's open for extension, making it more difficult to see the results that you and your community want. Read the NPC Manual of Information (Green Book) to understand what your rights are as a chapter and as a Panhellenic Council. Talk to your chapter leadership and see if they can make partnerships to take control of your Greek community.
