- Question of the Week: Unfortunately, because of lack of suitable
space, not everyone can go to formal. So....
- How do you want the selection of people allowed to go to formal
to go? Two choices, by pledge class or by year in school?
- Please explain your decision.
- Last week’s question:
- How should service be put up on the website, by week or by
quarter?
- Tons of responses - its going to be week by week because of
the responses
- These questions help make decisions so be sure to weigh in.

how much they have to raise! (raise $4000 each to
participate) (donate
online or in the cup)
- Constitution: Scholarship Account Article XX, Section 6
- Scholarship account intention:
- Active members who cannot pay for dues//use for nationals,
other interchapter relations trips//service trips
- “The Ohio University controlled scholarship account (7584)
belonging to the Delta Gamma chapter of Alpha Phi Omega
shall be used to
financially assist activated members attending
fraternity endorsed service
trips and/or fraternity conferences at the sectional,
regional, and national
levels; as well as, those activated members who have
demonstrated financial
difficulty in paying their dues. The Delta Gamma
chapter shall assist
service and conference trips by matching the amount
fund-raised in
proportion to the costs of the trips and the balance of
the account by the
attending activated members for the purpose of the approved trip.
- Activated members wishing to receive financial assistance in paying
their dues must demonstrate financial difficulty by
contacting the ombudsmen
and completing the approved application. Upon
completion, the activated
member's case will remain confidential as the ombudsmen
bring it to the
executive board. Assistance will be granted with a
majority vote of the
executive board. Once granted, the activated member(s)
being assisted
accept that their non-mandatory chapter expenses (i.e.,
T-shirts, priced
events) will be monitored to ensure proper use of the
scholarship account.”
The account will be maintained by directing $5
from every members'
(actives and pledges) dues to the fund.
- Furthermore, the money added onto dues when paid late will
contribute to the maintenance of the account.”
- And voting on....
- Article XXII/Section 11
- No member may receive more than 4 service hours throughout
a quarter in the form of donations for a service
project or fundraising
event.
- This already mirrors what we do in practice.
