GREEKS IN NEED OF HELP NATIONALLY!

What you are describing is an internal matter.

"False allegations" are easily disproved. Your sorority's headquarters/national office is the most appropriate party and is likely handling any and all matters related to this issue.

Because I'm in a mood right now, you are an alumnA of your sorority. The term "alumnI" refers to more than one male member who has graduated or a group of male and female (or all male) members who have graduated. One male member who has graduated is referred to as an "alumnUS." More than one female members who have graduated are referred to as "alumnAE."

It irks me to no end when I see college decals on cars that proclaim the occupant is a "University of Podunk Alumni." I guess this could be correct if the people who own/use the car are graduates of the University of Podunk. The only college decal that I've seen that is correct is for an all-girls college. It proclaimed the occupant of the car was a "Columbia College Alumna."

FWIW, I agree with the advice from everyone else.

I share the irk -- I figure it's just cheaper and easier for the retailers than having different decals or license plate frames that say "University of Podunk Alumnus," "University of Podunk Alumna" or "University of Podunk Alumni" (for the alum couples). I have seen it done correctly for various all-female colleges and for one all-male college (one of the few remaining).

This.

And CaldorII, are you an advisor or actively involved with the chapter in some capacity. If not, I wouldn't discount the possibility that there is more to the story than you may know.

Right back at you times a hundred. Except I'd substitute "probability" for "possibility."

Been there, done that, got the tattoo. People who haven't been around, ever, come out of the woodwork, too much drama way too late.

PS - And I purposely overlooked the alumni gaffe b/c I knew someone else would say it nicer than I originally penned.
