I hope you read the previous blog post about the State Sweeheart Program. If not, go back and catch up... this will be here waiting for your return. Here are some of the questions that have been asked over the years about the Chapter and State Sweetheart program:
Q. Does a Chapter Sweetheart have to be a Rainbow Girl or a Job's Daughter?
A. It's entirely up to your Chapter to set the selection rules. The State Sweetheart program does NOT require a girl to be a member of one of the youth groups in order to run, although most of them have been.
Q. Can the Chapter Sweetheart attend all events at the Patton Campus with their Chapter?
A. Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. Each activity is different. Look at the registration forms and articles posted at www.pademolay.org to know when it is and is not permitted.
Q. Why do some Chapters have multiple Sweethearts and some others have only one?
A. With multiple Sweethearts there are fewer chances to insult someone who had their heart set on serving in a volunteer position. However, a single sweetheart is less costly, and less likely to be difficult to manage.
Q. How much does it cost to have a Chapter Sweetheart?
A. Each Chapter can do this their own way. Some will "treat" their Chapter Sweetheart like royalty and take her everywhere including Convention at the expense of the Chapter. Others allow the Sweetheart to take part in fund-raisers and earn her share of the costs. It is ALWAYS up to the young men to decide.
Q. Why aren't there more candidates for State Sweeheart each year?
A. We don't know why more girls don't run for the position. That is one of the many questions the SMC's committee is going to investigate.
Q. Doesn't every Chapter want to have their Sweetheart selected to be the State Sweetheart?
A. Apparently not, because a number of Chapters don't encourage their sweetheart to run for the position. This is something else for the SMC's committee to determine.
If other questions come to mind, please ask!
