I was somewhat sympathetic until I got here. You are DEAD WRONG for going outside your chapter before giving your standards board a chance.

I have to agree. If standards doesn't do something, you may have to actually accept that maybe you are wrong about the situation. In a sorority, things won't always go your way, and your opinion isn't always the "right" one. Try looking at the situation through "sisterly" glasses instead of being so critical of everything your president does. It's a hard job. Give your Standards officer a call and see where she stands on this issue. Be aware that by ratting out your president about unauthorized parties, you may be opening a can of worms. Just be ready.

This raises a few questions:
- If she's really such a bad president, why did people decide to elect her?
- Why do you think it wouldn't pass the standards board?
- Shouldn't you have something in your bylaws or constitution that details the removal of bad officers?

Ditto. Even as a new member, this would have been the first thing I looked into.

Ohhhhhhh yep. Not just for her, but for your whole chapter, and the Greek system in general. Do you really want to be the girl who did that?
In addition, if your HQ has pretty much been laid back, not in a negative way but as far as letting you run things on your own as young adults should - calling them will put you on their radar as a problem chapter, and once on it is quite hard to get off.

Have you thought about talking to an advisor? I wouldn't call up your Nationals at all. That is not the proper chain of command. Plus like others have said, in the long run you will end up opening a can of worms. I know you said your Chapter Advisor was out of touch but surely you have more advisors....
