Corresponding Secretary
At the beginning of your Chapter Leadership Guide we addressed the importance of
membership within the Fraternity and why each chapter should keep a sharp focus
on recruitment. Although this focus is essential for chapter growth, you also
need to maintain up-to-date records on your current members. As the title
implies, the Corresponding Secretary's job includes communication of
information among the members and the Fraternity as a whole. During your time
in office, you will be responsible for keeping the Central Office informed
about your chapter's membership. A full awareness of your current membership
status is fundamental to the operation of the Central Office for billing and
reports and to determine the percentage of growth of the entire Fraternity. To
be successful, you will need to do a thorough and conscientious job.
Duties
Your responsibility is to keep the Central Office informed about current
membership status. You will not only be responsible for informing the Central
Office of new and graduating members, but also about members who have been
suspended or expelled. You will document this vital information to the Central
Office. In this section, you will learn the details about what and how to
communicate this information.
In addition to notifying the Central Office about membership, you will also be
responsible for keeping the Fraternity aware of your chapter's progress. You
will do this through the "Delt Chapter" section of The Rainbow
(Online Chapter Report Form). Every year each chapter is required to
submit an article for publication in The Rainbow. These articles allow
each chapter to become familiar with what is taking place in other chapters.
You are responsible for writing and sending in the article. To help you write
the article, we have inserted a section giving some of the details to include.
Keep Your Records Straight
To do your job effectively, you must be organized. You will have various forms
to complete and submit almost daily. If you organize your work so that you know
where to turn when a question arises, you will have few problems. It's all
about being committed and staying on top of your job. And isn't that what being
a Delt is all about-- being committed? |
