Social Disaster

[HQWest]

I think the OP is saying that the other members of the officer team are trying to enforce the rules but in an effort to be popular their social director is not.

My advice would be to call her in to your standards board and read her the job description of her office. Then explain to her the risk management issues of her allowing underage drinking. If one of those girls just trips on her way back to her dorm, she could be charged with allowing or encouraging the minor in possession.

If one of those girls is in a serious accident - it could have dire consequences for the chapter. All of the members who are supposed to monitor social functions can also be brought up on charges.

Then ask her if she is willing to uphold ALL of the duties of her office. If not, then ask her to help you find someone else who is.

One rogue officer shouldn't make it that difficult to enforce the rules for everyone. Yes, standards needs to get involved, but so does the local advisory board. This is the kind of stuff that can get out of hand, and it's the type of thing that I personally hate to be surprised by as an adviser when it does.
