I think that we might be taking the OP’s questions a bit out of context. Most of us are not in this chapter and cannot tell for sure what the actual written by-laws of this specific chapter are. This being said, perhaps the slated president’s one semester of experience equates to “one year on exec” and could perhaps be perfectly in line with the by-laws established and voted on by the chapter. In the end, I don’t think that it really matters who was on the slating committee or what decisions were actually made since (as I said earlier) it is just a recommendation and not a guarantee to hold office. The chapter will select who they deem to be the best president and will then have to live with their decisions. I really got the feeling that the OP just really wanted to complain about her friend’s daughter not getting slated but in the grand scheme of chapter operations, does not slating this individual really make a difference? I trust that the slating committee made the best decision with the information that was available to them and it is now the chapter’s responsibility to consider the slate and then make up their own minds and vote for the best candidate.
