Do you still attend formals?

In reading these thread there are a few im concerned about

1) alums not allowed to attend recruitment. Thats an NPC requirement to have an advisor, national rep or alum represent the chapter for quota setting meeting, bid matching, etc. Collegiates are not allowed to run these (bid matching) or attend the quota setting meeting.

2) advisors or alum reps are "required" when possible to attend chapter meetings. Yes some are out of line and we too have no way of 'punishing' them if they are rude.. but theycan do a workshop for the chapter or at least listen in on a meeting to see what it happening if they are an advisor.


3) Insurance must vary b/c for SIgma Kappa I know alums can attend formal (we should RSVP to be polite) and can be present and should be at mixers, socials etc..... its on our forms for social functions we organize. If alums/advisors are not able to be present then the chapter can vote on so many per guest to be advisor reps to "watch" the event and take care of any incidences that can occur.

From my understanding our insurance covers all members of the sorority and if there is an incident at a function the Advisors who signed off on the forms or are present take the liability if its OUR fault ie: 19 yr old gets drunk and trashes the place and we did not have someone checking ID's or did not get her a cab. If we did have something in place like a bouncer etc... then we are not liable she is. I think we may have different insurance carriers with different rules.

Alums/advisors should be invited to help with prerecruitment, re recruitment, philanthropies, etc.... at least an invite. If they cant attend oh well. I know I have had some in the past cause trouble then speak to your Advisors and see if they can help u deal with them.
