Not everyone's daddy gives them beer money.

Or pays their credit card, or their other bills.

She is continually getting the run around. No one wants to talk to her. No one wants to reimburse her.

Everytime I have contributed monetarily to a fundraiser I have been reimbursed, so this was new to me.

And, I was not the VPM. I assumed the VPM would have notified them of anything they needed to do to make sure nothing like this happened. I mean, that's her job. Her job was to supervise their pledging period and make sure they knew everything they needed to know and did everything they needed to do.

If they haven't bought the gift yet, then who has the $177 that they did make from the fundraiser?

It's in the SAI account. I don't know when money changed hands and I really don't know when all of this started, but I was just notified today.

Resolution
 

Alright, GCers.

Apparently, this has all been solved. I was notified by my little that she will be recieving a check tomorrow from the VPM.

I probably acted a little prematurely by coming here, but my little was very upset and was afraid she wouldn't be able to pay her electricity bill.

I apologize if this caused anyone undue stress.

I just didn't know where else to go.

20/20 Hindsight
 

She should have joined Chi Omega and this never would have happened! ;)

KIDDING...I'm only kidding! Sorry, I couldn't resist!

We believe you.

HAHAHAA :D

It's cool. She said she really liked the girls, but that it just didn't line up with her ideals the way SAI does.

She could always pawn her rings. If she don't have any rings, I'm sure her mom and grandma have some.

But you said her family is able to help her with money, which is why she footed the bill in the first place.

ETA: Glad it was resolved, but believe me it didn't cause me any stress.

I know this has nothing to do with the thread topic, but since the catastrophe has been averted it doesn't matter...

Doesn't she realize she can do both? I had several sisters who were in both SAI and KD, and I know KD wasn't the only NPC org represented in SAI.

Mom and dad can have their own financial problems when there's an illness in the family, or something in the house that needs to be immediately repaired, for instance. I personally know that can change quick and drastically.

Mom and dad might also have assumed they'd be getting reimbursed and weren't happy when they weren't. I've been in that situation as well.

So she put out $200 and they only made $177 which was then put in a chapter account? Now your little is being reimbursed her original $200....Sounds like there wasn't much of a fundraiser there... they ended up costing the chapter $23.

Can't they just get each girl who want to voluntarily chip in $5 to get the chapter a gift? We did this when I was a new member of ADPi. We got the house a gift from our class. Anyone who couldn't afford it didn't-- most of the girls contributed, however.
