Whew! Sounds like PhiSig is structured a lot differently than my GLO! In my chapter, every chairman reported to the executive board exactly what was being planned for chapter events so that it could be approved by the board. If exec board didn't approve something, then it wasn't done. Period. End of discussion.
No one went against the wishes of the executive board and, honestly, no one should have. The exec girls were selected by the chapter to run the chapter, and their main purpose was to insure that the sorority didn't do anything that went against National policies or campus regulations.
I can tell you right now that anyone who went behind Exec's back to do something in the chapter's name would've been hauled before Judiciary board FAST. More than likely, the person would have been suspended, not because of power issues but because it is detrimental to the chapter's well-being to have one person taking it upon herself to decide that National policies should be ignored. Ignore someone who does that and more rebellious sisters will follow. You'll find that it's a good, fast way to lose a charter.
As for the champagne glass idea, we would never have even considered having champagne glasses as party favors because there is no drinking out of letters per DZ National policy. The temptation would have been too great, so we just bypassed the issue completely. Instead, t-shirts were always made for our events as favors and that kept any alcohol issues from arising.
