Iota Nu Delta Brotherhood, Have Established This Organization for the Purposes of Promoting and Advancing the Cultural Diversity Found on College Campuses ΙΝ∆ I O T A N U D E L T A N A T I O N A L F R A T E R N I T Y Interchapter Council Constitution ΙΝ∆ National COUNCIL CONSTITUTION PREAMBLE We, the brothers of the Iota Nu Delta Brotherhood, have established this organization for the purposes of promoting and advancing the cultural diversity found on college campuses. The Iota Nu Delta Fraternity is South Asian based, but is not, nor ever will be exclusive to men of South Asian origin. Our Brotherhood seeks to encompass all individuals and will not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, creed, ethnicity, orientation, or any physical handicaps. Discrimination of any type would go against the very core of our purpose and would promote elements of intolerance and destroy the unity that we seek to create. We seek to enhance and develop the leadership qualities of our brothers to prepare them for the world of tomorrow. With this goal in mind we prioritize the rigors of religion, family, and academia in addition to our brotherhood. We shall not condone nor will we ever tolerate any method that would be contrary to the principles of our fraternity and our purpose of creating unity. We will not accept or tolerate any forms of hazing or intolerant modes of behavior. No potential member will be subjected to any activity that is degrading or hazardous. We seek to create a strong bond among the brothers of this Fraternity. Section I. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of Iota Nu Delta stems from the need to create a forum for today’s collegiate men to convene under the objectives of brotherhood, service to humanity, professionalism, and cultural awareness. With these objectives in mind, we form Iota Nu Delta with the following symbols: • Name: Iota Nu Deta (ΙΝ∆) • Stone: Diamond 1 • Mascot: Royal Bengal Tiger • Primary colors: Orange & Green • Mottos: Mind, Body, Soul; Brotherhood Eternal2 (in greek) • Chant: Shakti ΙΝ∆ 2 National Interchapter Council Constitution With the rapid expansion of Iota Nu Delta, it has become evident for the need of a central interchapter executive body. This necessity has given rise to the establishment of an ΙΝ∆ National Council and National Board (referred hereby as “National” or “NB”). The goals and objectives of this governing body are the following:: 1. To maintain uniformity amidst the growing diversity. With the rewards that come with expansion, also come the dangerous consequences of a growing diversity. This diversity will stem from the different subcultural groups within the fraternity, the different religions, different political views and also encompasses the most obvious source of diversity found in the distinct identity of each ΙΝ∆ chapter. Although the diversity primarily must serve to be the foundation of our strength, there lie the subtle possibilities of more harmful effects on the entire fraternity as a functional organization. Consequently, with the continued growth and expansion of the fraternity and with the addition of new brothers and chapters, it becomes even more difficult to maintain some uniformity and unity. 2. To serve as a general forum to address problems and concerns. The council will serve as a general forum to take interchapter votes and decisions to make uniform changes throughout the entire fraternity. National will serve as a “discussion board” to address relevant issues concerning the entire fraternity (ie: pledging issues, expansion possibilities). The council will represent a forum to discuss and decide these issues because it will soon become impractical and unfeasible to discuss such issues at meetings with all brothers from all chapters present. However, National is set up structurally and functionally so that every brother’s personal view is NOT neglected, and each fraternity member’s legitimacy of his vote is not overlooked. National will function as a smaller representation of the entire fraternity and its constituent chapters. 3. To represent ΙΝ∆ at any national Greek (Inter-fraternity) meetings. National and its delegates will represent the entire fraternity at all inter-fraternity meetings (if we ever get involved or invited to attend national Greek functions). It will once again serve as ΙΝ∆’s representative body in discussing the fraternity’s stand and decisions at such meetings. Section II. STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION 2 ΙΝ∆ 3 National Interchapter Council Constitution The council, as I mentioned, is structured both physically and functionally similar to the individual chapter governing executive boards. With this in mind, the organization and power of the NB is simple: Positions: A. Executive Board 1. Executive President 2. Executive Vice President 3. Secretary 4. VP of Finance 5. VP of Operations 6. VP of Expansion 7. Director of Intake B. Board Members 1. Chapter representatives (2 reps) 2. Associate Chapter representatives (1 rep) 3. Colony representatives (1 rep) Responsibilities: (E-Board) 1. Executive President The president presides over the meetings as a judge presides over a courtroom and jury. He is responsible to make sure the meeting runs smoothly, efficiently and orderly. He directs the meeting from one part to the next (ie: from discussing issues to voting on them). See Procedures and Protocol. Duties and Responsibilities: a) has the absolute power to call a National Board meeting when necessary b) directs each meeting c) only has the power of a tie breaker vote (when necessary) • begins each meeting by calling to “ORDER” • decides when issues are to be discussed • decides who will speak and when • calls for a vote after the council has heard any and all arguments and opinions on an issue • closes each meeting • directs the NB to cast 1 deciding vote each 3 ΙΝ∆ 4 National Interchapter Council Constitution • ratifies amendments based on procedural voting by national board and national council (comprised of chapter presidents/representatives) Term of Office: The President holds his position as a 1 year tenure. He can, however, be impeached or resign. He is allowed 2 re-elections, and may hold his office for the respective terms. 3 Impeached Presidents are not allowed to retain titles of emeriti. Advice and Suggestions: The President’s powers and responsibilities are strictly limited to the council itself, and does not exceed outside that realm. His role is within the confines of National meetings. The President should be a man who understands the importance of compromise and who ultimately is dedicated to the resolve of both principle and efficiency. He must know how to temper passion with prudence and good judgment. His role is not only to delegate and direct the movement of the council but must represent the focal point of motivation in terms of allowing all ideas to be expressed and understood. It must be understood that the President represents the organizing, delegating and directing “arm” of NB and not the legislative role, which is the Board members themselves. 2. Executive Vice President The Vice President’s role is to assist the President in his duties and act in his stead, in the situation where the President is unable to preside over a meeting. Duties and Responsibilities: a. The Vice President assumes all powers (and limitations) of the President in his absence. b. The Vice President shall also supervise and at times assist on all responsibilities of the other E-Board members Term of Office: 1 year tenure and allowed 2 re-elections. Advice and Suggestions: The Vice President is not to be simply seen as the “President’s Substitute” but plays an important role in support and also guidance to the President in decisions of calling a meeting, deciding which issues should be discussed etc. The VP assumes the added burden of presenting the arguments on behalf of the NB. He 4 ΙΝ∆ 5 National Interchapter Council Constitution should be someone who is adept at presenting arguments in a clear, concise manner, able to conduct his role in an objective and logical way. 3. Secretary The Secretary is important in keeping all records, maintaining public relations and communications. Duties and Responsibilities: a. Record Keeper: • keeper of National’s “Black Book” and updating with any new decisions and votes • must keep an accurate account of all the events that occur at all NB meetings including issues discussed, votes taken and tallied and decisions made. • must write up the “minutes” of each meeting reporting the overall outcome of the meeting and must give a copy to the President for National records, and is responsible for sending a copy to each chapter to be placed in their respective records. • Keeper of Annual Chapter Reports o Actives roster o Events o Fundraisers • At the end of each semester, every chapter must send a letter/report to the NB stating and informing the status of all events that took place in that chapter including community service projects, parties, pledging (#crossed, # dropped), type of rush events, goals met in the semester etc. This is done in order for the NB to keep record of the progress of each chapter and their activities.4 Term of Office: 1 year tenure and allowed 1 re-election. Advice and Suggestions: The Secretary has a very heavy burden. He functions first of all as the source of all fraternity data. In an event which requires hard data, the secretary should be able to provide them. This “record keeping” role is extremely important as a regulatory method. Votes and decisions must be documented after they are made and will serve as future references in dealing with problems or issues that may arise. In the very beginning, the 5 ΙΝ∆ 6 National Interchapter Council Constitution Secretary has the burden of ensuring all records are updated and identical, and after which is responsible for providing the new addendums to the “Black Book” to all chapters.

  • Excessive Oil Consumption Nu/Gamma/Theta Engines
    GROUP MODEL ENG Multiple Models Listed NUMBER DATE 222 (Rev 2, 03/11/2021) December 2020 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SUBJECT: EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION NU/GAMMA/THETA ENGINES NOTICE This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. New/revised sections of this bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area. This bulletin provides information on diagnosing and/or repairing some 2011-2019MY vehicles (refer to table below for applicable model and engine), which may exhibit a symptom of excessive oil consumption. Follow the flowchart on page 2 and instructions outlined on page 3 in this procedure to repair a vehicle exhibiting excessive oil consumption. MY Model Engine 2012-2016 Soul (AM/PS) Gamma 1.6L GDI 2014-2019 Soul (PS) Nu 2.0L GDI Optima (TF, QF, JF, JFa) Theta 2.0L T-GDI 2011-2018 Sportage (SL, QL) and 2.4L GDI Sorento (XMa, UMa) Key points regarding engine oil maintenance: • Engine oil is responsible for lubrication, cooling, and operation of hydraulic components of the engine. Engine oil is expected to be consumed in normally operating engines. Therefore, regular oil level checking and oil changes are required as part of the factory maintenance schedule. • The purpose of oil changes is to prevent oil deterioration. A separate requirement is to maintain the oil level, independent of the oil change interval. It is necessary to check the oil level at every fueling stop and replenish the oil, if necessary. This is one of several check items that the owner’s manual recommends at every fueling stop. • Operation with deteriorated or low engine oil causes reduced lubrication and cooling, as well as impaired operation of hydraulic components.

  • Phi Sigma Kappa - Nu Chapter New Member Education - Spring 2020
    Phi Sigma Kappa - Nu Chapter New Member Education - Spring 2020 All new member events are completely optional. If a new member is unable to attend an event for any reason, they simply must notify the new member educator of their absence. A new member may also choose to opt out of an event that they have attended, if they choose. If a new member misses an education session regarding the history and operation of the chapter, a makeup session will be scheduled with the new member educator at the new member’s convenience. All new members are invited to all of our charitable and philanthropic events if they so choose. Purpose New member education at Phi Sigma Kappa is necessary to prepare new members to become full members of the chapter. During the new member education process, the new members will learn the history of our fraternity, as well as its expectations of every member at national and local levels. Through the education process, new members will learn how to abide by Phi Sigma Kappa’s cardinal principles — brotherhood, ​ ​ scholarship, character — in their daily lives. ​ ​ Objectives 1. Learning the History of Phi Sigma Kappa The first step towards becoming a new member of our chapter is to learn about its past. New members will be educated on the history of Phi Sigma Kappa and its milestone, including the founding date and location of the Alpha chapter, founding members, and the merging of Phi Sigma Kappa with Phi Sigma Epsilon. The new members will also learn about the Nu chapter’s unique history at Lehigh University.

  • The Greek Alphabet Sight and Sounds of the Greek Letters (Module B) the Letters and Pronunciation of the Greek Alphabet 2 Phonology (Part 2)
    The Greek Alphabet Sight and Sounds of the Greek Letters (Module B) The Letters and Pronunciation of the Greek Alphabet 2 Phonology (Part 2) Lesson Two Overview 2.0 Introduction, 2-1 2.1 Ten Similar Letters, 2-2 2.2 Six Deceptive Greek Letters, 2-4 2.3 Nine Different Greek Letters, 2-8 2.4 History of the Greek Alphabet, 2-13 Study Guide, 2-20 2.0 Introduction Lesson One introduced the twenty-four letters of the Greek alphabet. Lesson Two continues to present the building blocks for learning Greek phonics by merging vowels and consonants into syllables. Furthermore, this lesson underscores the similarities and dissimilarities between the Greek and English alphabetical letters and their phonemes. Almost without exception, introductory Greek grammars launch into grammar and vocabulary without first firmly grounding a student in the Greek phonemic system. This approach is appropriate if a teacher is present. However, it is little help for those who are “going at it alone,” or a small group who are learning NTGreek without the aid of a teacher’s pronunciation. This grammar’s introductory lessons go to great lengths to present a full-orbed pronunciation of the Erasmian Greek phonemic system. Those who are new to the Greek language without an instructor’s guidance will welcome this help, and it will prepare them to read Greek and not simply to translate it into their language. The phonic sounds of the Greek language are required to be carefully learned. A saturation of these sounds may be accomplished by using the accompanying MP3 audio files.
