Welcome ! The National Council has drafted several revisions to the Nu Rho Psi Model Chapter Bylaws. Later this spring we will be distributing via email to our members and all chapter advisors a link to an online ballot to determine if the proposed changes will be enacted. This will be the first significant revision in many years.
Among the proposed changes are:
- The establishment of a Provisional Membership category
- Criteria for determining when a chapter has become inactive and how it may return to active status.
- removed from Criteria for identifying Inactive Chapters and for the Dissolution of a chapter, and the requirements for re-establishing a chapter once it has been dissolved.
- Instructions to chapter advisors that they are responsible to file for tax exempt status annually.
