Chapter Advisor's Procedural Details

Very soon after Online Pledge Forms have been completed for particular group, the Central Office will email a Pledging Report Form to the Adviser to review the forms submitted. If necessary, the pledge and/or chapter should be queried on any answers which may be incomplete and inaccurate. If there are remaining questions or concerns, the Adviser should contact the Central Office.

At the beginning and again in the middle of the school year, the Central Office posts the current Pledge Test online for the Adviser to access. This test is to be passed by each prospective member before initiation. The chapter is to provide Part B. The Adviser, or his agent, is charged with administering the pledge tests.

Immediately following attendance at an initiation ceremony, the Adviser should check the newly signed roll book pages for completeness, and then sign them on the third line provided for witnesses.

When an undergraduate member requests alumnus status and achieves the chapter's four-fifths approval, the Adviser should carefully review the case and form completed; and, if appropriate, indicate approval on the form before submitting it to the Central Office.

In addition to these areas in which the Adviser has specific responsibility, advisers have the general obligation to see that the student officers adequately discharge their duties at the proper times, and to follow through on any cases of failure to do so.
