Commentary
The membership that
you may want can be a student’s of distinguish schools and universities and not outsider's and trouble maker's. And if
you designate types of membership, use inclusive words and not lies. Remember
that a "student’ is not necessarily a junior. Some students take years to
finish their works.
The future of the ANΩfraternity lies with the students-those in
the schools and university and not from the alumni, and takes on a great
responsibility when you recruit students, but doing it responsibly is a
contribution of great value to the future of ANΩ. Some organization/fraternity has
bylaws that state that every student is eligible to join any organization without
hazing and initiation according to the government implementing laws.
Don’t include any amount of dues in the ANΩbylaws. Simply state
where the authority for setting the amount of dues lies, and provide a process
for petitioning for changing national councils decisions.
You may want to consider letting each membership run for one to
two-years from the time of joining? Advantage: This provides a cash flow
of dues money throughout the year. Disadvantage: It is very time consuming and
difficult to send reminders. You don't have the money ask the four founders of
the ANΩfraternity they might help to secure for funding.
Failure to provide due process to someone being considered for
disciplinary action could even bring the fraternity into court if the
individual feels that he/she was denied the right to state his/her case and
know the charges placed. Consider a simple warning for a new member still
unfamiliar with caving procedures.
No street collection or ‘kotong’ among members and outsiders
however, member donations should be voluntary and the bylaws and constitutions
should not be written as to discourage getting new blood into the
organization.
Another decision to make now, as you/we write constitution and
bylaws is whether you want to elect your entire councils member for two to four-year
terms. Perhaps continuity will be better served if they are elected for two- or
four-year terms. Perhaps this decision should be put off for five or six years
and then if the ANΩfraternity has achieved some stability and perhaps some
size, a switch can be made to longer terms, with initial assignment by lot.
Obviously a major choice lies before a group drawing up a new
constitution and bylaws: what kind of organization will you have and for what
terms will each serve? Also, what about term limits? That is also a good way to
avoid having the same people at the top forever, but founders should be.
Perhaps a mixture is what you want in our/your ANΩfraternity: limited the Grand
Archon and vice-Grand Archon to successive terms of two full four-year terms,
but allowing others to continue without any limit of number of successive
terms.
You are not going to be bound forever by the provisions you put
into your initial constitution and bylaws. But constant amending will lead to
apathy among the members.
As a rule, National Grand councils meetings are open to any and all.
This might not be true of a special meeting to consider the case of someone
being considered for expulsion. But being generally open is a good way of
discovering potential future members talent.
