Okay, this is one issue that alarms me terribly. A lot of you will totally disagree with me, but please hear me out.

RUN!!! There is NO new member who is worth dividing a chapter - I don't care WHO she knows!!!

We pledged a woman on whom the chapter was almost evenly divided. She caused such problems, she tried to get the entire new member class to quit! The chapter was so split that roughly half of the chapter went inactive after "the term of hell" when she was pledging. We went from the second largest sorority on campus to half the size, all over one woman who ended up depledging (and taking 3 others with her). It took us another 2 years to build back up to respectibility.

I wouldn't wish this situation on anyone!

*shivering as I remember this!*

edited to add: I was one of the sisters who liked the woman mentioned above. If I could do it all over again, I would have respected more of my sisters, and not voted for her in the first place.
