So I talked to our Vice Pres-and they said that J board ( our Judicial board) would talk about it...and vote on it at their next meeting. We payed 35 dollars for a couple and 20 for a single...so we payed for the glasses/mugs. I was told that we would get our money back if we did not recieve a glass.
Now- Here were my ideas.
It seems now that it's less of a issue about glasses and more an issue about power within the sorority. The glasses can not be sent back. I was angry that we as an entire sorority didn't vote on the kind of favor we all wanted, you know? So, I'm going to propose a couple things to J board then to E board because I feel like the entire chapter isn't being heard. We have our Phi Sig alcohol policy in our membership books- however, we as a chapter do not have them properly outlined as to our OWN policy, chapter wise. It's only spoken.
I suggest that we sit down as a group and put together our own alcohol policy-and vote on it, as a group. Some of the reasons why everyone's all upset is because they think the chapter has too strict a alcohol policy. Phi Sig's policy is strict, but nothing compared to our chapters policy. If we sit down EVERY SINGLE SISTER, to help put this together- and vote on it...there wont be any confusion as to what our policy is-as long as it's within the confines of Phi Sig's policy, we'll be fine.
The second thing, they discuss a lot of stuff at our E board meetings, that anyone can go to if they want....problem is, it's at Nine thirty- to please one or two of the people. This is way late for a commuter campus...plus I live an hour away, as do four of five of us. They discuss a lot of stuff that I never get to hear because I can't go. I suggest that we have someone who does E boards minutes to email them to the entire sorority so there's not a lack of communication and we all know whats' going on. For instance, we don't have a house, and evidently they were looking into one- but did anyone not on E board know about it? Nope. And I think this is wrong. I'm initiatied and every bit as important as anyone else.
Anyone have any more ideas?
I also think we should do more sisterhood events- like..slumber parties and stress relief parties, things to bring us together, and keep it cheap so everyone can come, ya know?
I'm going to email the sister who runs our Jboard today- so does anyone have any more ideas as to what we could do to help our sorority run a bit more smoothly?
Thanks!
