Section 8. Election of Pledges - Except as provided hereinafter, no person shall be initiated into this Fraternity except through a Collegiate Chapter and by a secret vote of the members of said Chapter, in good standing and in compliance with the predetermined requirements for recruitment, constituting a quorum present at a regularly called meeting as may be defined by the Bylaws of the Chapter and the Laws of this Fraternity. All elections to Pledgeship in this Fraternity shall be by a hand vote. The name of each prospective Pledge will be read. Each Brother will then be given the opportunity to express any doubt they may have over granting Pledgeship to an individual. Other Brothers may respond to this doubt with a statement of affirmation. After all present voting Brothers have had the opportunity to speak a vote shall be called. Voting Brothers will be asked to raise their hand if they do not support granting Pledgeship to an individual (a negative vote). To ensure against mistake, should twenty percent (20%) of the members present and voting, or five (5), whichever is greater, negative votes be expressed on the name of a prospective Pledge, a second vote shall be immediately taken. If twenty percent (20%) of the members present and voting, or five (5), whichever is greater, negative votes be expressed on the second vote, the prospective Pledge shall be considered rejected. All qualified members of the Chapter present shall vote. Failure to vote, including any abstentions, shall be construed as a favorable vote for the candidate. After all such members have voted, voting shall be declared closed, the votes counted by the Worthy Master at Arms, and verified by the Worthy Keeper of Records and Seals. The declaration of these officers announcing the vote favorable or unfavorable to election shall be final. Should the name of the same prospective Pledge be proposed and rejected a third time, the same prospective Pledge shall never be proposed again in that Chapter. The votes concerning prospective Pledges described herein must be held before the individuals in question are formally accepted as Pledges. Should the prospective Pledge receive a favorable election, but be unable to accept or complete his or her Pledgeship, an election must be held in any subsequent academic term in which the prospective Pledge’s name is proposed again.

Section 9. Pledging - Each prospective member shall be Pledged according to the pledging ceremony of this Fraternity as described in the Fraternity Ritual. Pledging this Fraternity is not a guarantee of membership. Following the pledging ceremony a probationary period of not less than 30 days and no more than 10 weeks shall follow. During this time the Pledge shall be under the supervision and direction of the Worthy Master-at-Arms and

4 the Worthy Inner Guard. The Pledge shall perform such duties and enjoy such rights as may be prescribed in the Pledge Education Program for Phi Delta Chi.

Section 10. Voting on Pledges - A four-fifths (4/5) vote of Chapter members in good standing, present and voting at a regular or special Chapter meeting, held less than three (3) days prior to the initiation ceremony, is required to remove a student from the Pledge education program.

Section 11. Definition of Good Standing - In addition to the definition of good standing set by the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Phi Delta Chi members are required to do the following: 1) Comply with the Attendance Policy 2) Comply with any governance concerning dues as outlined in the bylaws 3) Actively participate in at least one committee 4) Maintain good academic standing as defined by the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Section 12. Suspended Status- Although membership in Phi Delta Chi is considered a lifetime commitment, extreme hardships may arise that may necessitate the Suspended Status of a Brother. The Bylaws of Phi Delta Chi provide for a temporary removal from membership as a Suspended Status. Suspension from the obligations of the fraternity may be reinstated at a later time in accordance with the Fraternity’s Constitution and Bylaws. “Suspended” status was created to allow for Brothers to be able to handle their personal affairs without the worry of their fraternity obligations. Suspended Status is not designated to accommodate temporary or manageable factors. By becoming a Brother in Phi Delta Chi, every Brother voluntarily took the obligations of being a Brother, keeping in mind the balance required between academic, family, work, and fraternity life. Therefore, being unable to meet financial obligations or to actively participate in chapter activities (i.e. “I don’t have time because of school or work should not be considered acceptable reasons for suspension, unless extreme hardships exist).

A collegiate Brother in good standing may request inactive status in times of extreme circumstances. Requests for inactive status shall be submitted to the Executive Committee of the Chapter for consideration. The Executive Committee shall then present its recommendation to the Chapter for consideration. A three fourths (3/4) vote of the Chapter members in good standing present and voting shall be required to approve the request for inactive status. Should the Chapter approve the request for inactive status, that decision shall then be submitted to the Regional Vice President and Provincial Vice President for approval and, if approved, the minutes of the Chapter meeting shall be submitted to the National Office. A member granted inactive status shall assume active status at the beginning of the next succeeding academic term, pending a three fourths (3/4) vote of the Chapter. Should the circumstances extend beyond one academic term the member shall submit a request for inactive status in each academic term for consideration. While on inactive status a member shall be responsible for paying national dues, but not responsible for fulfilling the requirements of an active Brother. No penalty shall be assessed to the member or the collegiate Chapter. Should the National Office receive notification of the granting of inactive status after the Chapter has been assessed dues for the academic term, a credit will be issued to the Chapter by the National Office for any current financial obligation of the inactive member during that academic term.

Section 13. Resignation --- (From National Bylaws, Article XII, Section 18.) Although membership in this Fraternity is for life, members may submit an application to the office of the Executive Director for voluntary withdrawal. Such application does not automatically mean termination of membership. The Executive Council shall establish guidelines for acceptable terms of resignation.

Section 6. Attendance Policy - Attendance at Phi Delta Chi events and meetings will be recorded using a points system. Each brother will be required to obtain a minimum number of points per semester, to be set by the executive board at the beginning of each semester. The Worthy Keeper of Records and Seals will be responsible for recording each brother’s points. Each Phi Delta Chi event will be worth a specified amount to be determined by the executive board based on the length of time and type of event. The point value of each event will be stated when the event is announced. Examples of events which will earn points include, but are not limited to, the following: · Philanthropy events · Leadership events · Social events planned by the Social/Brotherhood Committee, excluding Semiformal and Formal · Fundraising events · Rush and Pledging events, including pledge meetings · Events planned by additional Committees or Officers · Regional or National meetings, excluding the Gatlinburg Retreat

A list of mandatory events will be provided by the executive board at the beginning of each semester. In order for an event to be considered mandatory, it must be announced at least one month in advance. Absences from mandatory events will result in a deduction of 1 point. Chapter meetings will be worth 1 point. A brother is allowed one unexcused absence per semester, and will receive 0 points for this meeting. Each additional unexcused absence will result in a deduction of 1 point per missed meeting. Absences related to work or studying will not be considered excused. Brothers who are enrolled in a pharmacy course during the scheduled meeting time should email the WKRS about this conflict at the beginning of the semester. Absences due to course conflicts will be excused, and the brother will receive 1 point for each meeting missed. All other excused absences and emergencies will be dealt with on a case by case basis by the executive board. Expected absences should be emailed to the WKRS no later than 24 hours in advance of the meeting time. The email must include the date of and reason for the absence.

If a member leaves before a meeting ends or is significantly late to the meeting without emailing the WKRS with a valid reason, this will count as an unexcused absence. It will be the responsibility of the WCC and executive board to ensure that meetings are held for an appropriate amount of length. Brothers may expect non-ritual meetings to be an hour in length and ritual meetings to be an hour and a half in length. If sufficient deviations are made to these time references, the individual member may leave without any repercussion. It is asked that the member consider staying if the meeting runs slightly over the allotted time.

Attendance at committee meetings will be recorded by committee chairs. Brothers are responsible for notifying their committee chair if they are unable to attend any committee meetings. Committee chairs are responsible for setting the expectation for committee involvement at the beginning of each semester. A brother’s involvement in the committee will be assessed by the committee chair at the end of each semester, and the brother will receive -1, 0, or 1 point based on their contribution to the committee. Committee chairs will report committee members’ points to the WVC.

Brothers who do not obtain the minimum number of points by the end of the semester will be required to make a $5 donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for each point below the required point amount; a $50 cap will be placed on this total. Brothers must pay this fine in order to return to good standing. Brothers who exceed the required point total will have their name placed in a prize drawing one time for every point above the minimum;

7 there will be no capped placed on the number of entries. Brothers can purchase additional entries into the drawing at a cost of $5 per entry; these proceeds will also be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The drawing prize will be determined by the Executive Council each semester. Brothers obtaining the most points for each semester and the entire year will receive an award, to be determined by the executive council, and will be recognized at the end of the year banquet.
