Education on content and how to change

• Either MOR or standards committee/chair
4. Meeting Structure

Will increase the weight put on non-pledge matters
• Detailed minutes shall be sent out after meetings
• Improve access to attendance records
Records should include the reasons for excused absences
• Bring back the gavel
Meetings need to run more efficiently
• Bring back chair reports
5. Pledge Documentation
• For midcourt and 3/4
• Quantitative – MOR shall prepare the
following:
Quiz scores
Signature count
• Qualitative – PM shall prepare the
following:
Assigned tasks and performance
• Powerpoint format (like bid selection)
6. 1/6 Rule
• Pros
Supports the notion that “it’s better to miss out
on a good brother than let a bad brother in”
With full attendance (approx. 60 members)
1/6 is a significant number of brothers
Upholds brotherhood unity
• Cons
Not rule by majority
Potential for alienation of those who vote no
7. Anonymous Voting
• Pros
No swing voting
The minority would not feel alienated
• Cons
Can’t hold people accountable for their votes
Encourages uninformed or impulse voting
AKPsi should be an open forum where all
brothers’ decisions are respected
8. Role of the PAP
• Originated to “cover our ass” with
nationals
• Role of the PAP is tied to what we want for
the future of AKPsi
• Is it just an excuse not to drop somebody
at midcourt?
Is it equivalent to a maybe vote?
• If we want to evaluate pledges at ¾
according to the strict standards set by the
PAP, why isn’t every pledge getting one?
9. Future of the Fraternity?
• Open discussion
• Take down notes
• Follow-up presentation by E-board
• Major questions:
Professional vs. social
Allocation of attention between pledge and non-
pledge process matters
How to increase motivation/participation
Trust within the brotherhood (Seth’s comment)
How to treat past classes (Rhos, Xis)
