Chapter Violations

If the appropriate materials required of a chapter are not postmarked or electronically marked on or before the designated due dates, the items will be considered late. When a chapter is late with dues, fees, or forms with the exception of forms 20 and 20A, the National Headquarters shall send a notice of delinquency two weeks following the due date to the chapter president and the officer(s) pertinent to the violation (i.e., for forms, the secretary; for monies, the treasurer). This letter will be accompanied by a fine of $20.00 per outstanding form and for any outstanding monies.

A second letter of delinquency and warning of probation will be issued four weeks after the first late notice. This will carry a fine of $30.00 per outstanding form and $50.00 for any outstanding amount of monies.

If the violation and subsequent fines are not resolved within six weeks after the original due date, the National Council may discuss taking disciplinary action against the chapter.

In the event of a late or incomplete form 20 or form 20A the chapter shall be placed on probation. In the event of a Member failing to sign off on the chapter's form 20 they shall be placed on probation.

If the form 20 or form 20a violation is no resolved within two weeks after the original due date the chapter shall be placed on national suspension and their initiation program shall not continue until the chapter's suspension has been lifted. In the event of a Member failing to sign off on the chapter's form 20 within two weeks of the original due date that Member shall be placed on national suspension. Any member placed on national suspension for failure to sign off on their chapter's form 20 shall also be removed from any elected office for the duration of that academic year.

The total monetary value of all fines owed by a chapter at any given time shall not exceed $500.

Any chapter that does not send a delegate to Grand Chapter shall be fined $350 plus the cost of one convention registration and placed on probation until the total fine is paid in full and the chapter has met the requirements set forth by the National Council. The convention registration fee shall not be counted towards the maximum $500 fine limit.

All Chapter fines will be donated directly to the Richard Cecil Todd and Clauda Pennock Todd Tripod Scholarship Endowment Fund.
