Formal
I'm planning our Spring Formal and to be honest have worked pretty damn hard on it, even skipping class a couple times to meet with the woman from the Hilton. It's going to be a very nice formal, one of the nicest that the chapter has had in a long time since they haven't had a very active social chair until I joined. Anyway.... after some complaining from some sisters tonight, I decided to hold a vote as to whether the dates should wear suits or tuxedos. The formal is being held at the Hilton Waterfront and is a very nice hotel. There will be dinner and dancing, etc. The colors are black and white to keep with the uber formal theme going. In my opinion, suits are for semiformal, tuxes are for formal. So now, since the general consensus was for tuxes, some of the sisters aren't going to go since the guys they want to take can't afford tuxes or just dont' want to wear them. I'm pretty hurt and offended by the fact that my sisters don't want to go. It's still 4 weeks before formal... plenty of time to save up to rent a tux and I am even calling a tux place to see about getting a discount for the girls. Is it wrong to be offended that they don't want to go? We are still a small chapter with only 22 girls so the absense of a few is noticed. Not to mention that I've been working my tail off to plan something that they all bugged me about since the day I was elected social chair and now they don't like the plans??? Just ranting I guess cause I'm so frustrated.
