Hey All,
Well Liston asked what everbody thought about these By-Laws.
Heres my opinions. First though let me give my standard disclaimer. "If
the majority of that chapter is happy with it and it doesn't directly
violate national By-Laws then my personal opinions are irrelevant.

Seems a bit 'big brotherish' to me. Also hard to enforce.
> 2) We created an officer position called the "Webmaster" who will be in
> charge of updating the homepage with calendar of events & other information.
Not a bad idea. I like it, but wouldn't this be more standing policy
than By-Laws.
> 3) President, VP Service, and VP Fellowship all serve a year term from

Seems ok depending on the importance of the other offices. Also what
about summers?

WHEW! Sound like whoever gets this job is doing A-Phi-O full time that
semester. Could be a major time pressure. Why not have the PT report to
the MVP?

I Plead the 5th. on this one on the grounds that I'd get more flames than
the space shuttle on re-entry if I said exactly how I feel.

WOW! Next week. I'm impressed. It would probably take the
better part of a month to put Delta's on the web.

Iota Rho, right?
