Perhaps the sorority's published qualifications for President included a line such as "Any exceptions must be approved by the Chapter Advisor, Regional Director, etc." (As my sorority does.) And as to the friend not disclosing that she was running, it could very well be that she was NOT running until asked to do so by the slating committee in her VP interview.
Over the years I have served on MANY slating committees and am now in a position where I must approve the slating committees' decisions. I have seen a great many instances where it was prudent and in the best interest of the chapter involved to give approval to rule exceptions. And again, in most of these cases, the candidates needing the exception had no idea that they were being considered for President until an interview.
And KC is absolutely correct. Ultimately it comes down to a chapter vote. So in the end, if the chapter members don't want someone who has served only 3 months on Exec, they don't have to elect her.
