All general chapter meetings are MANDATORY for all members. If you are unable to attend, you must fill out an absence excusal form prior to the following executive meeting after the missed general chapter meeting.

Executive Meetings

Our executive meetings are open to all members! You do not have to be a director or on the E-board to attend. We HIGHLY encourage our members to sit in on open exec meetings to learn more and understand the logistics of how the chapter is ran. This will teach you and better to prepare you for the positions you are interested in applying for.
