Upcoming Deadlines (please handle before break)

Brothers,

Before you start your exam cramming and before you pack your bags for Winter break, please take a moment to comply with the deadlines below so that you can be in good standing (and Chrissy will be pleased).

DUE: December 15th
Due to Chrissy Bischoff, NVPCM
1. Pledging Report (1 page form) Note: to follow the link, you need to be logged in to the intranet
2. NCCM Report (1 page form)
Your NCCM rep or your MAL should handle these submissions. Be sure to bug them to make sure it's done!

DUE: February 15th
Due to Abra Hill, NT
Initiation Report (1 page form) from Fall 2007 initiations
+ Initiation Fee and Shingle Fee (one check, made out to Mu Beta Psi)
Don't wait until February 15th. Get this handled now! The sooner you turn in the form, the sooner shingles get ordered.

Your MAL is ultimately in charge of these submissions but will need input from the Pledgemaster(s) and Treasurer. Be sure to bug them to make sure it's done!

Here is how to get to the forms in stepwise fashion: 1) Go to www.mubetapsi.org. 2) Log in to the intranet. 3) In the knowledgebase section (lower right hand corner), go to "National Documents" folder --> "National Office Operations" folder.

If you have trouble finding something, I'm happy to chat with you. Email me at secretary@mubetapsi.org.

Compiled Contact Information & Calendar

The current contact information for Brothers at each of the chapters is located in the Knowledgebase section of the intranet. Go to National Documents --> Addresses --> and you'll see two files of note:
- "Address List - Fall 2007" is an excel file with one tab for each chapter. If your contact information is missing or incorrect, please email me at secretary@mubetapsi.org
- "Contact Info - NOs, BOT, and MALs" is a single page PDF file with contact info for the national officers, BOT members, chapter presidents, and MALs. You can print this out for easy access!

I have also created two google calendars for National Deadlines and Chapter Academic Calendars. Email me if you would like me to add you to the google calendar or send you the link to view it.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Convention Minutes Completed

Brothers,

I have compiled the convention minutes from 2007. They are now available on the intranet. Go to the knowledgebase, minutes folder, convention 2007 folder, and the minutes are available as PDF files. If you have any corrections, please email me at secretary@mubetapsi.org.

Thank you for your patience!

Julie

Missing Reports

So far, I am missing the following reports from Convention:

Legislative Council
Mu Chapter report
NP report

Committees
NCE Minutes
Mu's report to the NFC Meeting
Mu's report to the NHAC Meeting
Nu's report to the NHAC Meeting
Omicron's report to the NHAC Meeting
NITC Minutes

[more to come...]

Compiling the Convention Minutes

The most overwhelming task for a new NS is compiling the Convention minutes. Without all of the reports, the minutes from legislative council (LC) alone are 45 pages. I need your help in making sure that we have an accurate record of events.

In the next few days, I will be creating a list of reports that I still need from you. So far, I have emailed some of the national officers (NOs), committee chairs, and chapter MALs regarding their missing LC reports. Next on the block will be the chapter reports within each committee. Stay tuned, and email me at secretary at mu beta psi dot org if you have any questions.

I will be on Spring break next week (March 19-23). I hope to get the majority of the Convention minutes compiled at that time. With your help, I can get these Convention minutes posted in record time. Thanks in advance!
