Often recent alumnae don't communicate their intent and show up without notifying those in charge. Try telling a chapterful of women that their social budget is busted for the rest of the school year.

Originally posted by 33girl As far as drinking, that should have nothing to do with formal. Most formals now are under a third party vendor. It is their responsibility, not the sorority's. And as far as "drinking with" the chapter...theoretically the chapter shouldn't be drinking at all as a chapter, so if you're going to be breaking rules anyway, might as well invite the alums. **shrug**
I just think it's really sad that "risk management" takes precedence over making alums feel welcome.[/B]

There was nothing my post about alcohol. ADPi formals are cash bar only.

I wasn't solicitating a third-party evaluation on my sorority's alumnae-collegiate relations. I was responding to the original poster.
