Big Problem!!! Need Help!!!!

[AlwaysSAI]

Okay, so here's the deal:

May SAI little is kind of awesome. And, I just found out today that she turned down a bid from Chi Omega (one of the top sororities at UNCG) because she wanted to join SAI that badly.

The SAI pledge process involves a fundraiser, among other things. Because when the class is initiated they have to present the chapter with a gift. Her pledge class decided to make and sell jewelry for their fundraiser. So, my little, being the wonderful person that she is fronted all the money for the supplies because her family is able to help her with money and she realizes that other people aren't as well off as she is. The total cost for everything was a little over $200. The class got initiated with only one meeting left of the semester and no one ever told my little anything about reimbursement or how to turn things in to get reimbursed. But, she comes from a long line of greeks so she knew to keep her receipts, which she kept for 2 months. When she moved she thinks that she accidentally threw them away. No one on exec board ever approached her about reimbursement and being a brand new sister she didn't reallly have a clue what to do. (I WISH SHE HAD TOLD ME ALL THIS WAS GOING ON!!!)

She finally got tired of waiting and I guess she called someone, I'm not sure. Actually, she called her pledge mom who said that she would take care of it and not to worry. Her pledge mom then called the old president, who called the new president, who called the new treasurer, who called the old treasurer. They told her that she would have to pull the back statements on the credit card she used to buy the supplies and then they would see what they could do but that they don't usually reimburse for fundraisers.

But, here's my thing: Their pledge mom was not supervising their fundraiser and didn't give them any information on reimbursements or anything. She, I guess, just slacked the whole way through. I really don't know how this could have happened if she was doing her job. My thinking is that even if we don't reimburse for fundraisers she should be reimbursed because they weren't told any of the guidlines on reimbursement. They were pledging and we all know how that is....you're kind of clueless and you don't want to make waves.

She has the back statement on the credit card and it supposed to call the treasurer this afternoon. This has been almost 4 months since she spent the money and she waited patiently for something to be done. I told her that if they don't have an answer for her today she needs to call our Province Officer and tell her what is going on.

I just feel bad for her because she comes from a long line of panhellenic sororities and they gave her a lot of slack for turning down the Chi-O bid. And, now it's she feel like it's biting her in the ass....

Any ideas??????
