I don't give into the blackmail; I prefer to say, "Okay," and leave.

When I first advised a small chapter, this was the norm. Members would storm in and say they were quitting. I would simply hold out my hand. They looked at me oddly, and I would tell them that if their sorority didn't mean that much to them they were welcome to put their badge in my hand and I would start the paper work. I only had to do that about three or four times until the overly dramatic overtures stopped.

Like.

As a regional volunteer, I've had women reply to me baffled when they call/email with "I don't want to do x so I'm going to quit" and my response is "Okay."

I've found that the drama queens want you to get down on your hands and knees and say "noooooo don't quit, we neeeed you!!!" so when you don't, they're like a deer in headlights.
