Amendments
It's my understanding that when Sigma Chi has a local/colony petitioning for a charter, the chapters (undergraduate chapters, nto sure about alumni chapters) vote on the petition. And they vote by mail.
For the second undergraduate position, I like the idea of the two roles being staggered - have the second member elected in non-Convention years. How do we do this? Simple. Put it up to a vote. Each chapter in good standing gets the number of votes they'd get at Convention, each chapter advisor gets a vote, each alumni chapter (in good standing) gets a vote (or two if they're eligible), and same with the alumni association. The alumni chapter's vote would come from the ACB. All votes must be postmarked by a specified date. Pretty simple if you ask me. A second undergraduate is thus ELECTED and the terms are STAGGERED. I apologize if I've misspelled staggered...
The tricky part will be determining who the candidates are. Will they come from the UAC or will any undergraduate meeting the requirements be able to toss their name into the hat? You'll end up voting on skills/resume, which is bad, but I think it would be a pretty fair compromise. You'll still get some guys who campaign.
