Yikes @ outing your founder and naming your school. What happened to keeping family business out of the public eye?

ETA: how does a sorority with an online school work?

Wow @ all your crap being out there.

According to your FB page, you're graduating this year. How can you be president if you're graduating?

If you have bylaws, codes of conduct, etc. then why don't you go through the procedures that should be detailed there? If there aren't any procedures, your sorority will have to deal with that as a whole.

Do your sisters generally agree with you about the issues with your founder? From this site, it's hard to tell. It seems like you and your sisters have a lot more to work out than just the issue with one of your founders.

There is no excuse to be in your 30s and not realize that the internet is a public forum. You put your school name out there. In an attempt to learn more about the sorority whose founder you publicly threw under the bus (in hopes of helping you), I Googled your school name and the word "sorority", and the name of your sorority popped up. From there, I could see your full name and thus a link to your FB.

As for accusing me of being presumptuous - how is it overstepping bounds to use Google? Did I out your name, your sorority, or the crap posted on your public message board (yes, that popped up in my first search)? You have a lot of personal information out there. You should be more discriminating if you don't want people to find all this out with a single Google search.

And for the record, if you are in your 30s and in college, you should have been spelling. Not being snarky, but one tenet that sororities and fraternities typically subscribe to is academic excellence.

Unfortunately, because your "sorority" is online, I am not sure how much people can really help here, bc 99.99% of people here who are Greek belong to organizations which have a physical presence.

It's only private if you make it private. Which you didn't.

Welcome to the internet!

If people outside the sorority can access it, it is not private.
