[Kansas City]

As a chapter adviser, I just returned from elections last night. My chapter has a slating committee but the drama was really in election night because of all of the nominations from the floor, (too long) speeches followed by discussion, and "trickle-down" of losing candidates from one position to the next. I don't think that elections are easy on anyone but can assure GC that our chapter bylaws regarding timing of speeches, etc. will be amended to make the night go much smoother (and hopefully faster) next time around.

As for slating ... I was only able to stay for the first half of voting and of those six positions, only one persone was slated for the position she was elected into, the other five were sisters who turned in applications (but were not slated) or were nominations from the floor.
