Regent's Role with Property of the Chapter

The Regent is responsible for all chapter records and property, and especially so for the Chapter Roll Book, Charter, Ritual, and Constitution.

The Roll Book should be kept up to date with appropriate notations on pages for transfers, expulsions, deaths, etc. All completed pages should be kept in one, or not more than two, binders (available from the Central Office). The Roll Book(s) should be displayed during the initiation ceremony with the new pages in place when they are signed. At all other times, the Roll Book(s) should be carefully protected from fire or other loss as it is obviously irreplaceable.

The Charter should be properly framed and displayed in the chapter room, office, or other appropriate place.

The Ritual is loaned to the chapter from the national Fraternity, and is for the use of members only. Requests from a nonmember to read or obtain a copy of the Ritual should be referred to the Central Office. On the inside front cover of the Constitution are excerpts from Theta Tau Laws which may be copied to satisfy requests from school administrators for such information. The Appendix of the Membership Manual also includes a copy of the Constitution & Bylaws for each member. Each volume should be kept up to date to reflect changes adopted by National Conventions. Neither should be defaced or annotated.
