From an AGD Member

Most houses don't like girls "that like to start trouble" and question things.

These houses do NOT girls to question anything.

Amend the by-laws today AGD and put "no questions allowed" to avoid future drama.

The girls in the house perpetuated this by bringing in advisors and nationals. If it was a simple grievance, a quick note or tap on the shoulder versus narcing on members is the sisterly thing to do. For example, my house doesn’t allow drinking in letters, but you see girls in small ones on T-shirt Tuesdays. No biggie in my house. If a sister is getting sloppy, though, you help her out. I’ve seen sisters getting masking tape from the bartenders to cover them after one girl went through a bad breakup and wanted to drink up. See? Handled.

The fact is that AGD does not offer bids to girls that are independent thinkers or that defy authority. AGD girls are the smart girls that follow all the rules and do what they are told. It's why they are so damn boring. These are not the kind of girls that will change the world because they are too conditioned to do what they are told.
Don't hold your breath for some kind of revolution to stand up for what is right among those girls. Its not who they are.

If the member above didn’t know she was out, who voted? We have to all vote to allow girls in, all girls have to vote to release. If only exec and advisors can vote on this, that’s super shady.

I don't know this girl, but know a lot of nice girls in AGD. They should come together and support her and make positive changes. Make it better for future classes.

^^^^ I agree - they need to remember what "sisterhood" means. Not kicking someone to the curb and shaming them. This is really sad.

Hey queen, they had to make up a rule that day in order to justify kicking her out. That means that before that point, she hadn’t broken any rules. If you’re saying there was a lot more going on behind the scenes, then I assume you mean they just didn’t like her and finally found a way to kick her out. Which to me, is even worse.

They changed the bylaws after her survey came out. And they have not been ratified by the chapter so I wouldn’t think they could use those bylaws to kick her out. (Or if I was an active in that sorority, those would be the questions I would be asking if this was my friend.)

We don't know everything, but I will say changing by-laws and doing sketchy crap like that raises a red flag to me. I welcome their side of the story, but you know we won't hear that. I have a gut feeling they skewed this to fit their dialogue and kicked her to the curb. They wash their hands of it and just let it play out. Sad for someone who invested her entire college career with that organization.

First off, the girl states that this was her second time at standards, but never says what the first issue was. So it's not like she's totally innocent here.

Secondly, WTF do you get out of surveying your sisters to find out who is unhappy? As a senior, you know you're leaving in 6 weeks, and no way you're going to fix any problems in that amount of time. If she wasn't happy, she should've just quietly disaffiliated and called it a day.

Finally, everyone is buying everything this woman is saying as if it's absolute truth. We all know there are three sides to every story- hers, the chapter's and something in between that is likely the truth. I'm sure NEITHER party here is innocent of doing something sketchy, but the sorority is doing the right thing by not responding to this woman. If she really cared about AGD, she'd have just walked away. All she really cares about is burning AGD down on her way out the door, and that's sad.

I think a senior that puts out a survey cares about her sisters. She already knew a bunch of people are unhappy. They are looking to have a conversation to make things better. They don’t want the juniors to be unhappy year. Addressing the issues on the survey only make AGD better. Not talking about it and punishing her and pretending it doesn’t exist, makes it worse. AGDs recruitment will suffer this fall.

You think these seniors are going to fix what is wrong with the exec and chapter in the 6 weeks they have left of school? 99% of seniors are like who cares, I'm done soon.

As for her little being the standards chair, she did what her job was. Contact the woman and tell her she needed to return her badge. If we're being honest here, the chapter should PURCHASE back her badge, because you pay for your own badge, but that's semantics.

Whether you like it or not, this girl took the low road and is trying to "cancel" AGD because she got kicked out. If she was so worried about the experience of other members, why would she publicly call out and humiliate the chapter, making it that much more uncomfortable an experience for the current membership? Exec is only a handful of women out of the 450 members of this chapter, and her attempt at making life miserable for all of them is clearly working, and again, SAD!

Oh really

No, AGD can't "speak out." If you were in a sorority, you would know that exec does not discuss anyone’s pending standards problem with the membership. She knows that too. Her privacy is protected and exec cannot publicly tell their side of the story. I’m sure her friends are mad about it but they don’t know the missing details either.

Corporate world would not do this to an employee. There are numerous safeguards in place- she would have a lawsuit and rightfully so. Stop threatening her.
