Holy crap. DUBYA-TEE-EFF??? FOUR CONVENTIONS?

I don't know how much your alumnae dues are, but speaking from my own experience, our chapter yearly dues plus the voluntary dues that I send to my Fraternity are nothing like what I paid as a collegian. I have no problems handing over that check even though I'm still a broke recent college grad.

I don't think my chapter's ever been officially audited by the Fraternity, so I don't really know the signs. But I'd think if there were a lot of members not paying dues, outstanding bills that never got paid, or members not being reimbursed for purchases, then I'd throw up the red flag to our FA and VPF.

I am glad that we have a WONDERFUL FA in Clare and that advisors and chapter officers get together in the summer to do a documents audit. We make sure that everything that's in the bank matches up to our records. It's a long and tedious day, but it's well worth it.

It'd be cool if Clare ever suggested poker night at her house, though.
