“Fall 2010 Pledge Class Hiatus” Article
ARTICLE VI - Fall 2010 Pledge Hiatus Policy
1. The chapter will not take a pledge class for the fall semester 2010.
2. During the fall semester 2010 a Brotherhood Committee will be formed under
the elected Membership Vice President that will explore a sustainable rush and
pledging policy.
3. The Brotherhood Committee shall decide on its recommendations and provide
them to the chapter before the time of executive officer elections.
4, The role of the Pledge Master during the fall 2010 semester will be to plan
fellowship and service events for the purpose of bringing the brotherhood together.
Abstract:
“This amendment would essentially act as a referendum on not taking a pledge
class next semester, and would present the semester as a time for the chapter to
redirect the energy it normally would use for pledges and the pledge process
towards chapter unification and greater dedication to service. It would be the role
of the pledge master and membership and fellowship vice presidents elected this
spring to develop programs and policies, with the aide of suggestions during
CPPC, that would bring the chapter together. The committee established by this
article should propose an amendment to be voted on during the fall eboard
election.”
