2. Be sure all chapter meetings are snappy and interesting, and conduct occasional fellowship events for the enjoyment of members, pledges, and guests.
3. Maintain an adequate rush program to insure a steady flow of new members into the chapter.
4. Use the committee system to get things done, and give all members and pledges a definite part in the chapter activities.
5. Maintain a full advisory committee consisting of two or more faculty/staff advisors, one or more Scouting/Youth Service Advisors, and one or more community advisors.
6. Publish a regular newsletter for members and alumni.
7. Conduct all chapter business in accordance with the chapter bylaws and national bylaws, and use correct parliamentary procedure.
