[b]Membership Committee Preliminary Report[b]

Request of Various Committees

Scholarship Committee
Scholarship wanted to know if we agreed that there should be a GPA requirement for Gamma Chi and if so, should Gamma chi wait until grades come in and for members who have graduated should they have to send in a transcript?
All though grades should be stressed and at some point, a GPA could be given for possible research and other things, the Membership committee didn’t feel that having a minimum GPA to become a member of Gamma Chi was necessary for the reasons that …
We are more of an interest group and not an actual national organization. Maybe further down the line, but not at this point.
There are many alumni who have been out of school for years and it would be hard from them to remember and too much of a hassle for transcripts.
**However, scholarship committee has the right to determine whether this merits any awards they want to give out and maybe further down the line whether grades mean probation in membership and/or cause for termination.

Membership Committee Developments

Membership Requirements
We require 6 months of GreekChat membership or at least 50 post. The committee figured that we have many posters who have been on for a long amount of time, but don’t get to post often and also many people who haven’t been on long, but post constantly. This was is fair to all. Obviously those who help on committees are "automatic" members, but still will have to fill out a membership application.

Application
My Lai (Hawaiiagd) is also being asked about how to code the membership application on the future Gamma Chi website, so that applications can just be submitted there.

Fraternity Education
Psychtau is currently coming up with a format to develop a fraternity education program. It is still in the works, but will include the following:
Founders, Creation of GreekChat and Gamma Chi, History of GLO’s (National, Local, Academic, etc.) How to use GreekChat, Internet Etiquette, Mental/Physical Health, Substance Abuse Awareness, Why We Have Philanthropies and more. Will update in next report.

Membership Suggestions
Committee Screennames for GreekChat postings. That way if the committee wants everyone to know something, they can just post it with the author being for example "Gamma Chi Officer Committee". Only members of the committee will have access to the password.

Membership Questions
What are the expectations of the Membership Committee? The committee would like to know what we should be doing as our job besides bring in new members and fraternity education. Is there anything specific?

damn, very nice! very well thought out, very organized and very intelligent!

Just a point I want to make. i think that in time maybe we could actually get a house or an office somewhere where a ton of people live (say a lot of the members of gamma Chi live in the same area like Nashville or Chicago or something) and make it a national headquarters like 10-5 years down the line.. If we could get this registered as a chartible organization people can make donatiosnw hich would then be used to buy the house or something. But I don;t mind it just being in cyberspce at the moment.

Here's a brief update... fellow ritual committee members, if I missed anything, just post it.

We have a draft for a new member ceremony, and we're currently trying to schedule something for next week. See the "Gamma Chi New Member Ceremony" thread for details. The NM ceremony next week will be only for Alpha class members - I gather membership is working on an application, so we may be doing a ceremony for a Beta class soon.

Optimist Prime is working on the initiation ceremony, Leslie Anne is working on the badge design, and Wendy (theta sig agd) is at work on a crest. Initiation will hopefully be some time over the summer... anyone without computer access over the summer will be initiated in the early fall.

I think I've covered everything, but I'm not 100% (getting sick

) so I've probably forgotten something...

Ok first for the scholarship committee. Idont think we need a min GPA. You can do very well in a GLO but not in school. The only reason I feel a min GPA or transcript is needed is if we have scholarships in the future where you need to qualify to recieve them. Another reason you could have min gpa's is if you have some kind of "GX scholars" list where you recognize people for there achievments, but I do NOT think we should have a min GPA just to join!!

Membership Questions- I expect the membership committee to keep all records updated to the best of there ability. Continue to come up with programs for our membership. I am sorry but this is as specific as I can be on this. Hope I have helped in some way!

And to the Iota family....lets talk and plan for our future family members!!!! PM me!!!

Ok....I am working on a crest and coat of arms. I need to know the symbols and colors of GX though so I can write the descriptions.

It most likely wont be ready by the NM ceremony. Sorry !!! But it will be ready by the initiation. Maybe we should make some kinda rule that only initiatied members can have the coat of arms or something????

Anywho....back to designs!!

aephi alum · #10 05-01-2002, 09:24 PM

Wendy, I tried to PM you but your mailbox is full. The symbols and colors are in Tresa's original post. No problem if the coat of arms isn't ready for the NM ceremony... lots of things aren't ready, including initiation

but that's why we're having a NM ceremony... so we can all be members of Gamma Chi without having to have all the details ironed out.
