ADDENDUM: APPROVED STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
General
The Standard Operating Procedures govern Delta Sigma except where they conflict with the Delta Sigma bylaws or the National Constitution. When in conflict, these other documents take precedence. The SOP takes precedence over Robert’s Rule of Order when in conflict.
Office Hours

  1. All officers are required to spend at least two hours per week in the office, in order to fulfill the UMC office hours requirement.
  2. All committee chairs are required to spend at least one hour per week in the office, in order to fulfill the UMC office hours requirement.
  3. If an officer holds a chair position as well as an office, (s)he shall be required to spend at least two hours per week in the office in order to fulfill the UMC office hours requirement.

Dues

  1. Dues are set at $80 per semester per brother, to be divided: $25 for local dues, $54 for national dues, and $1 for the subrosa fund.

Events

  1. The chapter may, at its discretion, consider national events as fulfillment of chapter requirements. This is done through a simple majority vote.
  2. A brother may only get credit for one “bought” service event per semester. (Eg, Pink Lids, Pop Tabs)

Initiate Event Requirements
Initiates of Phi Sigma Pi are required to complete the following events:

  1. 1 each: Academic, Fundraising, Chapter Service, Chapter Social, Pinning, Induction, Big Brother, and a Study Table.
  2. In addition: pass the national exam (80%), 75% o initiate meetings, 75% of chapter meetings, serve on committee, GPA check, pay dues, and plan initiate project.

Grade Reports
Each brother is required to submit his/her grade report to the recording secretary by no later than the third chapter meeting. Grade reports should be submitted in the form of an unofficial CU transcript, which can be obtained off CUConnect. The brother’s name should be printed or written on the transcript to avoid confusion.
Meetings
To expedite the discussion and pro/con debates during meetings, the snapping of fingers shall be used to inform the audience of concurrence of opinion with the speaker and their remarks. Snapping of fingers shall in no way preclude one from engaging in discussion; rather the snapping of fingers shall be used so that similar arguments need not be voiced more than once.
Amending the SOP
The SOP may be amended at any regular meeting with a 2/3 vote.
