Chapter was just closed - now what?

Not my council, but it seems to me that if something so extreme/egregious/offensive has taken place that the entire chapter was not only suspended, but expelled, then there's much more to the story than what is being told. If the OP is truly interested in the appeal which she filed, it would make sense to follow ALL of the rules set forth by her national board until a final decision is made.

All of that comes as an aside to the way that I feel to see a non-member wearing my letters. If you're not an official member of the organization, you do not have the right to wear the letters which represent it. End of story.

Agree on both counts. As saddened as we all are to hear that members in what could be our org lost their membership and now don't know what to do with themselves, that sort of thing doesn't happen over low numbers or because a chapter wasn't financially solvent, at least not without it blowing up in local news media. There is blame here, and without knowing the story I'm reserving my sympathy.
