Adelphean, what years were you in school? If the chapter is making members pay for their own formal, then it is not a chapter sanctioned event-- it should have been in your budget.

HB-- correct me if I'm wrong b/c I've been out of the loop for 2 years on the manuals, but the social budget may be max 25% of total chapter budget, and chapters are limited to a set number of social functions, which must be approved via social form, have security present, etc. Isn't there some measure that official social functions must be paid out of the chapter budget?

Adelphean-- not picking on your chapter; just want to understand if I've misinterpreted a past policy. I've yet to see a chapter that operates at 100% compliance; it's not a matter of following the rules; it is getting caught that gets them up to speed!

Because I was accused of acting like a "know-it-all" recently, I want to make sure its understood that I am only stating what I know to the best of my abilities when it comes to policy. To be honest, I checked the manuals I have and I couldnt come up with anything that said there was a set limit on events. But adpiucf you are right that social budget can not be more than 25% and an ADPi sponsored event is one that is paid for solely by ADPi. Exec board approval and social forms are a must, we always hire security guards but I'm not 100% sure if that is mandated. (As a side note we had the BEST security officer at the last formal and I'm hoping we can hire him for the rest of our events from here on out).
