If the entire chapter-minus 3 people -want to vote you in, but you don't selected for slate b/c one of them wants it, well you don't get it. We also tend to nominate everyone instead of a few people when it may something where feelings are involved. Like Sister of the Year, or Dream Girl. It usually goes to a senior. One or two people get nominated and then someone always says"I nominate all the seniors because they are all wonderful!" Which is actually very sweet, but kinda defeats the purpose.

About slating officers...can you not take nominations from the floor when the slate is first presented (the meeting before the vote, etc)? Otherwise, what's the point in actually voting? Another question...if everyone wants a certain person for President (example) and the slating committee doesn't put them in that office, why doesn't the entire chapter vote NO on the slate?
(We didn't slate when I was a collegian...we took nominations one week and voted the next.)
