We send one sometimes, two advisors to both of these events. But I think you all are missing my point. No, advisors' should not have to pay to go to formal, but their dates should. And I'm not sure what type formals you all had at your schools, but at mine, 9 times out of 10 we had to pay for ourselves AND our dates simply b/c the budget was not large enough to support two fully-funded formals (plus date parties and mixers). So, while I agree that advisors should be able to attend completely for free I do not agree that their dates should go free. I see absolutely NO reason why dates should attend for free.
And in my complete honest opinion, I don't see any reason for an advisor to bring a date. THEIR formals are over, as are mine. As an Alumnae president I would never dream of bringing a date to a formal I was invited to and not paying for him. The dues' paying members of a chapter work hard for their money. Why expect them to shell out extra for dates when their advisors won't or don't have to.
