What do you call it?

[33girl]

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!

[PhiPsiRuss]

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

no dude, I meant that we called our pledgemistress the membership director. We called the rush director the rush director. It is 2 different people.

[moe.ron]

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

In Phi Mu, we have:

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

In my Phi Mu chapter we have a 1st and 2nd Vice President. The 1st deals with committies and the 2nd is in charge of Chapter Development

Our Scholarship Chair and Senior Panhellenic Delegate are on Executive Committee too, but Ritual Chair is not...

[AEPhiSierra]

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.

[nyrdrms]

treasurer = financial vice president
person in charge of rituals = ritual chair
person in charge of rush = membership vice president
person in charge of pledges = new member educator (or affectionately, the new member mommy) also the member education vice president

[sugar and spice]

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

[ASTLuv21]

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.

Hello, nationals??

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.
