@dour. I just read your post again. What strikes me is what you said about National having no choice but to enforce rules maximally. This statement truly baffles me as choice always exists, particularly for private organizations. You might not like the choices available but you still have choices. Choice particularly exists when you are the party that created the governing by-laws of your organization. I have been assuming that the goal of the National was to somehow maintain the chapter (a logical assumption by most) but the more that I think about what actually happened I am not sure this is a good assumption at all. Even when you look at the so-called compromise position put out by the National, there was little there to bring comfort to the issues of the local house owners and it didn't deal with the local sisters at all so far as I could see. In fact, the compromise position probably annoyed and irritated the locals to no end as it dealt with few of their stated issues in a respectful or honest way in my opinion. I truly wonder if the National was operating in good faith and had the best interest in mind of the local sisters? Based on how this played out the motives of the National seem questionable at best as I would think most Nationals would have bent over backward to craft a creative solution to maintain one of their oldest chapters. Still honestly confused....
