Theta Tau Bylaws require that the Vice-Regent
1. Help the Regent perform any or all of their duties 2. Act as Standing Regent when the Regent is unable to perform their duties.
 * This is intended to be a catch-all to put the responsibility of normal chapter functions on a second person's shoulders
 * If the Regent resigns, is impeached, or otherwise permanently incapable of being Regent, the position of Standing Regent will be held by the current Vice Regent. The chapter may elect a new Regent and Vice Regent, especially if the majority of their terms are left.

The Vice Regent may also
1. Act as Standing Regent to prevent a conflict of interest when the Regent needs to take a side in a discussion or present legislation 2. Act as Chair of Committees 3. Maintain order in the chapter room 4. Measure meeting performance 5. Hold a review of committees and chairs
 * If acting as Standing Regent during a solitary or brief absence of the Regent, generally the Marshal will act as as the Standing Vice Regent and the Inner Guard to act as Standing Marshal.
 * This is the standard practice, but if the chapter has reason to appoint other members to these roles, for example if the Regent and Vice Regent would be holding discussion on a pledge who is their relative, the chapter can decide who will temporarily hold those chairs.
 * Hold Committee Chair Meetings (suggested for larger chapters with larger committees) or All-Committees Meetings (for smaller chapters with small committees)
 * Develop event goals or objectives for/with each committee and hold chairs accountable for progress and reporting
 * Understand Robert's Rules to help the chapter abide by them
 * Mitigate unproductive conflict
 * Use a grading rubric like This One or one of your own design
 * Send a Google form out with a rubric
 * Email a form (like Google forms), or bring individual sheets to meeting to be filled out to review committees and their chairs.

The Vice Regent's duties are outlined in the Bylaws, Chapter IV, Part B, Section 2. The Vice Regent acts as presiding officer in the absence of the Regent, is in charge of the chapter room and of the examination of all visitors, sees that the officers are at their stations at the opening of meetings and should memorize that short portion of the Ritual in which he participates.

In some chapters, the Vice Regent is charged with general supervision of committee activities as "Chairman of Committees." This seems a desirable responsibility for the member who (at the time of his election) should be the member second best qualified to serve as Regent. In some chapters, the Vice Regent is charged with serving as Recruitment Chairman or Pledge Instructor. However, it is better to have these positions filled by appointment of the Regent since they require special interest and abilities not necessarily associated with general leadership capability and since members in these important positions should be subject to replacement without chapter action. Sometimes, of course, the Regent might select the Vice Regent to serve in one of these positions if he has the interest, ability, and time to handle well the responsibilities of both offices.

The Vice Regent should at all times be prepared to handle the duties of the Regent should he be called upon to take the Regent's place temporarily. Therefore, familiarity with the duties of that office and all chapter activities is essential. The Chapter should provide for the replacement of the Regent should he resign or become unable to discharge his duties for an extended period.
