I think we have around 140 total. I heard that before I came in chapter meetings went on for 3 or 4 hours! Longest I've experience is 3 (plus a couple candle passes!).
The cancelling the social thing was just an example. We don't vote to have socials, they get planned and happen for us. Our social chair works with social chairs of fraternities that she thinks would be good to have socials with. We did, however, have a situation this semseter where there was "bad behaviors" at one of our socials, and the President and Advisor warned us we may not have a formal
! This would have been the first formal for the most recent PC and the last formal for seniors! In the end, it was decided that instead of cancelling it they made it dry- but sisters felt they may as well have cancelled it since the dry thing made about 40 sisters choose not to go... mostly seniors. But when your talking about those 40 people PLUS their dates-- we WAY overpaid for food, seats, venue, etc.
Sisters were obviously not happy with the decision made, but no one got to have a say in the situation... or at least, no one spoke up in chapter about it....
