-anything else that our Director of Pledges feels appropriate (how to tap a keg, names of local advisors and alumni, etc.)

Next semester I think we'll be incorporating parliamentary procedure through Robert's Rules of Order.

So, any suggestions for additonal material to cover?
You seem to have covered most of the Basics and all of the above have given great insights.

Trying to keep the attention is also important for Members.

1. GPA or held over or gone. You are in school to grad!
2. National History.
3. National Principles= R & M and what is expected.
4. History of the local Chapter.
5. Etiquette- while basic is important. Easy, do not dress like a slob, treat your date well and do not be an ass.

Since today, many HQ's want to get new Associates Initiated with a shorter Association period, it gets harder and harder.

LOL, learning Roberts Rules, that can be trained in the Class or when they become members. If it is not done correct, they will not get much be done properly.

Remember, You do not make and admendment!

You Move!

Sounds good over all! Getter Done!
