What do you call it?
Someone mentioned in another post that their rush director was called the membership director...well to me that is the pledgemaster. So what do you call your:
President Vice President (the one who takes over for the prez if necessary) Recording Secretary Treasurer Person in charge of rituals Person who plans rush Person who guides the pledges If you have more that have names you have to explain, add those too! :) |
I've never heard of a GLO that used the same person for membership (rush director, membership director, sales manager) and fraternity educator (pledge educator.) That sounds like a recipe for failure. "Pledgemaster" usually conotes the person in charge of the pledges during that archaic period of "hellweek."
As for the other positions mentioned, Phi Kappa Psi calls them as follows: President: President or GP (chapter) or SWGP (national) Vice President: Vice President or VGP (chapter) or SWVGP (national) Secretary (national): Secretary or SWAG Corresponding Secretary (chapter): Corresponding Secretary or AG (chapter) Recording Secretary (chapter): Recording Secretary or BG (chapter) Treasurer: Treasurer or P (chapter) or SWP (national) Person in charge of rituals: Mystagogue Person who plans rush: Membership Chairman Person who guides the pledges: Pledge Educator |

President = President
VP of Programming Person who guides the pledges = Pledge master or if they are a BMP chapter, there are no pledges. Treasurer = VP of Finance Recording Secretary = VP of Communication is the closest thing to a recording secretary. Person in charge of rituals = Chaplain Person who plans rush = VP of Recruitment |

President Vice President (generally in charge of Chapter Development...Sisterhood) Secretary - Recording and Corresponding (depending on Chapter size) Treasurer Ritual Chair Membership Director Phi Director That would be it ;) |
Re: What do you call it?
President - President
Vice President (the one who takes over for the prez if necessary) We have two: a VP Minor Board who oversee all the offices not on E-Board and a VP Standards who make sures everyone's in good standing and follows the rules. In the line of succession its VP Minor Board and then VP Standards Recording Secretary - Secretary Treasurer - Treasurer Person in charge of rituals - Ritualist Person who plans rush - Recruitment Chair Person who guides the pledges - Nationally we're suppose to use the term New Member Educators but old habits die hard so within the chapter we still usually refer to them as Pledge Mistresses - don't tell national! ;) Most of our names are pretty straight forward now but at least 20 years ago I think we used Dean for president not sure about the rest of the E-board though. |

Re: What do you call it?
Tri Delta
President: President Vice President (the one who takes over for the prez if necessary): I'm pretty sure this is VP administration Recording Secretary: recording secretary Treasurer: we have a treasurer and a VP finance that both deal with money -- I think the easiest way to exlain it is VP finance is in charge of the money coming in (dues, etc.) and treasurer is in charge of the money going out (giving money to each officer, etc.) Person in charge of rituals: ritual chair Person who plans rush: VP membership Person who guides the pledges: new member educator |
In AST our EC is made up of the following...
President Vice President Treasure Recording Secertary New Member Educator (or as we call it New Member Mom) Recruitment Director Collegiate Alumnae Liasion (CAL) We have a ritual chair for those who are curious and they are NOT on EC. We also have a COB chair which is basically a recruitment director but who is incharge of ONLY COB events. |
For our org:
These have the official titles of chapter officers: President: President Vice President: Vice President-Standards (in charge of Standars/Sisterhood) and Vice President-Organization (in charge of chapter organization, calendar) Recording Secretary: Recording Secretary (takes minutes) we also have a Corresponding Secretary who sends notes to other Orgs and people when necessary Treasurer: Treasurer Person in charge of rituals: Marshal and Registrar who does the chaptor history and keeps the current active member list These are technically Committee chairs: Person who plans rush: Membership Chair Person who guides the pledges: New Member Philanthropy, Scholarship, House, Education, Social, Risk Management, Public Relations, Panhellenic Delegate |
Accordint to our governing documents of AOII, the following positions are part of our Leaders Council (our equivalent of an executive board)
Chapter President VP Administration - this is who takes over for president first VP Academic Development VP Education (in charge of overall chapter education) VP Membership Recruitment (in charge of recruitment/rush) Corresponding Secretary Recording Secretary Chapter Treasurer Public Relations Chair Risk Management Chair Panhellenic Delegate Chapter Relations Chair - some chapters have this as a VP New Member Educator - some chapters have this as a VP (in charge of education of new members - kind of a pledge mom) our person in charge of ritual is called - Keeper of the Ritual our chapters can add any additional officers to LC by vote of the chapter - such as Philanthropic, Social, or whatever they deem appropriate.. |

That VP thing must be relatively new. We only had one VP, who both ran standards and oversaw the non-eboard committees (and who took over for the president if she couldn't fulfill her duties). Then again, maybe we only had one because our chapter was small. |

So sorry, you're right! I left out a few optional positions too, like purchasing.

Other officers w/ "different" titles include our Worthy Chaplain (WC) and Worthy Keeper of Annals (WKA, historian).
