However, the cable company made a mistake and opened up the cable in all of the house which meant we had cable in every room for a single residential price. This was great, until we installed an idiot for Treasurer and he didn't pay the bill. The cable was then disconnected and when we inquired about turning it back on, they were going to charge us a different rate since they'd caught their mistake and the price was going to triple. That wasn't in our budget for the year so we had to go without cable in our rooms that year. I watched a lot of the same movies and The Simpsons season 2 on DVD that semester.

Ah treasurers not doing their jobs....@smokew11 and I have a lot of good stories about that.
A common practice in our fraternity was utility money being used to by cocaine. Our VP of Finance (treasurer) failed out of school and never told anyone. He acted like he was still going to class, studying, etc. One day just packed up and left with all of the money. Yeah, our national HQ wasn't amused, and we lost our charter about 3 years after.
