So upset...please read.
Hi ladies,
This past fall I was elected to the positions of Vice-president Member Development and Greek Week Captain for 2003. I understood all of the policies that went along with having a position, including maintaining at least a 2.2 to remain in Good Standing.
During the last school year, I dealt with a chronic kidney condition, which eventually led to the removal of my kidney over the summer. I missed a lot of school due to the fact that I couldn’t even get out of bed half the time. I ended up taking an “Incomplete” in one class, only because it was too late to withdraw and get my money back. I basically didn’t even go to the class. I was THAT sick. I retook the class this semester and did very well in it. The grade isn’t in yet, but I got either an A- or B+. Since I retook the class due to the Incomplete, it doesn’t show up on my report card. My report card grades show that I did not make grades. But, once you add in the Incomplete grade, I am well over the required GPA to remain in Good Standing.
Executive Council turned in grades yesterday. I was at this meeting and reminded them of my situation, and told them I would have the grade I earned in the retaken class by Wednesday and to please understand that I did indeed make grades. After a vote taken by the Executive Council, they decided that my grade DIDN’T COUNT AND THEY TOOK MY POSITIONS AWAY. They said that even though I did the work THIS semester, I basically took the class starting from square one THIS semester, that it doesn’t count because I registered for it last winter semester. I’m not sure what they don’t understand. Once you average ALL my grades, not just the ones they felt like, I made grades and should be able to retain my positions.
I have never felt so betrayed in my entire life.
I am determined to appeal this case. I need to find out whom to go to next. Our local advisors were at EC, so I want to go just above them. Who would that be? Should I go even higher? I am ready to take this all the way to IHQ if I have to.
What do I do, girls? I haven’t been to bed yet. I have been up all night crying. I’m on the verge of quitting, and I don’t want to do that. PLEASE PM me or respond in some way. I will be happy to answer any questions or anything. I’m desperate, guys. I know you guys will know what to do.
LIEP (still),
Holly
P.S. Leslie, call me as SOON as you read this!!!
