Dear Sisters

Dear sisters,

I am very sorry that I am having to write this letter and break this horrible news to you all, especially to our newer members. But we will not be having an formal this spring. This decision was not completely up to me, but by our advisors. Our advisors advised that not having a spring formal this year would be in the best interest of the chapter. There are several factors that have played into this decision. However, the main issue is the fact that we are on a spending freeze, where the chapter is not allowed to spend money on anything. Even if our advisors had said that we should hahve a formal I would not have been able to pay for anything because I am not allowed to use the little money that is even in my budget to begin with. Our adivors Xuchilt would not even sign the papers that needed to be authorized in order to have the formal, and there was nothing I could do about that as well. This decision did not come about because I am not doing my job, or because I am not god at my job. Social chair cannot do their job if there is no money in the budget to use, which there isn’t. I really do not want all of you to think that this is my doing, or that I have done something to cause this. I have bent over backwards to try and make this formal happen but I simply do not have that power and this has been extended beyond my ability. I am planning a party somewhat with Alysaa to try and make it up to all of you. And she and I both are contriubuting to pay and play it so none of you have to. I just really would appreciate no talking behind my back or gossiping and so forth about what has happened. I am ready to take the heat for this deiciosn, but I ask that you remember that this deiciosn was not mine.. I am simply the messeneger. Hopefully this incident will teach us all to be more responsible with paying our dues, and making sure that this chapter is stable and financially sound. Again I apologize and promise
