Whoops. That'll teach me to upgrade my laptop's hard drive without
copying things off first. Anyway, CPPC:
----
Membership:
Jessie: Six potential pledges. One might be coming to GBFB this weekend.
Jimbo: "Policy for potential pledges during not recruitment period"...
probably didn't happen.
Suggestions:
* purge apo-prospectives
* have a Point Brother who has the responsibility of forwarding to
prospectives?
* more open projects?
Kelsey: warning: Major officers should not PC major projects at the
beginning of semester
General Membership: what good, what bad?
* Got more non-5E/Random brothers.
* Many fled... possibly due to service snafus
*possible web survey for inactives about why they aren't active?
*would they even fill it out?
Sarah: "He [Vlad] said, and I quote, 'I didn't deep throat him last
night.' "
Jimbo: "It wasn't Vlad? Must have been Clayton."
Rushing/Pledging:
Mostly through personal contact. Maybe new people will recruit people in
their dorms? Also, we should talk to the Public Service Center.
We should emphasize that what we base requirements on availability.
Bigs should have more interaction with littles.
How do we avoid twisting arms into being bigs if there's a large pledge
class? Maybe have "How excited about being a big are you?" on big form?
Perhaps MVP should be checking on big brothers, giving advice on what's
wanted/expected? MVP asks littles how their bigs are doing halfway through?
proposal: hard deadline: one week to implement and execute your l33t
s3kr1t pl4n to reveal yourself to your little. If they don't know by
BB/LB study break, president will tell them.
*interlude*
Meetings: first starting at 7, then, we'll ask schedules and vote to
change them.
*end interlude*
Be more serious for ceremony? Trending towards less formal/serious. Do
we want it more formal? Don't want to come off as taking ourselves too
seriously. Should announce: "This is a formal ritual. All brothers of
APO have gone through it, it ties us together, etc"
Pledge Meetings:
Encourage pledges to read pledge manual.
Encourage pledges to go to Conclave... none went this term. Might be
hard, with CPW.
Alumni:
We have no alumni chair. We failed.
"what should we be doing with alumni?"
"the same thing I did with your mom last night!!!"
goal: alumni-specific project during term.
Advisors:
"Hi, Ellen."
"Hi."
need to initiate J. Kim Vandiver. Yes, advisors get initiated.
Many of them have never been that active.... perhaps should do more on
campus, to get advisors more involved? Some are at retirement age or
have semi-retired. nationals says at least 4 advisors, two faculty, one
youth/scouting, one community.
Recent alumni? Perhaps no, nationals doesn't really like recent alumni
as advisors.
Other:
Forms. Exec needs to fill one out. Also, do we want another H. Roe
Bartle award? Chapter's response:
Jimbo [channeling nationals]: Everyone has worked very hard to blah blah
blah blah... Everyone now much silently rededicate themself to APO while
we HUM the toast song. Then, we are suposed to sing it.
