you’re from, and an interesting fact about you.

fact is that I’m Michelle’s boyfriend.

other or every week.

Leadership Day Chairs: VACANT
Service Vice Presidents Report:
Felipe: Hi guys!
Michelle: Our first service event is next Friday.
Felipe: We’re doing our first glide memorial 3:30-5:30pm. We’re asking for three members. The
following Tuesday, September 9th at 12:30-3:30pm is the SF food bank and hillcrest gardens
from 3-5pm.
Kelly: Is it on the calendar?
Felipe: Kind of. We just put the name on the dates, but no sign ups or details.
Felipe: We also have a marathon next Sunday, but you’ll get more info on that in an email.
Membership Vice Presidents Report:
Kevin: In terms of rush, new actives have to attend the workshop first. Associates you don’t
have to rush, but you can if you want. Who is planning on becoming an associate? You still have
to rush. Who is currently active and want to stay active? You guys have to rush. The only people
who don’t have to rush are associates, everyone else have to rush.
Jordan: Speaking of associate, if you’re currently active and want to go associate we will be
sending out a form by the end of this week. Dues will be due on September 12th, which is the day
of Rack n Cue.
Michelle: can you explain associate?
Jordan: You have to have a rational reason to why you want to be an associate, and if you want
you can send us the reason and we will accept it or not.
Steven: What is a valid reason?
Jordan: If you can’t make the meetings because school or work conflicts, which are mostly the
reasons we get are very valid because school comes first.
Jordan: For family heads, we still need a paper head, so that is vacant.
Kevin: Our rush masters will come up and speak about rush.
Rush Masters:
Colleen: Info night this Friday from 5-6pm, we will be meeting in front of Malcolm X. We will
be sending out a sign up sheet tonight.
Yeelin: The boba social is this Friday also, right after the info night.
Colleen: Katrina Harvey Pledge Class we will have to attend a rush workshop in order to rush
people, our first workshop is Wednesday 5-6pm, we will be having it on Thursday and Friday as
well.
Jordan: There is no school on Friday unless it is a Friday only class.
Yeelin: Show of hands who would want to do a workshop this Friday? How about Tuesday? Ok,
Tuesday it is instead.
Evan: Are you allowed to crash info nights?
Yeelin: The first one is okay, but not too many people should go so we don’t scare off the
potentials.
Chris: You should probably cap it, knowing from experience, you don’t want to overwhelm the
potentials.
Colleen: Okay, we will cap it. For people rushing at the table, you should sign in and out. We
are going with the three point system, where you can get a point from going to an info night,
signatures, and a social. You can’t go to all info nights and get your points.
Yeelin: Try to get them from signatures though.
Colleen: Mary is the one who made the flyer, so go tell her good job.
Colleen: Info nights are August 29th 5-6pm, September 2nd 5-6pm, September 10th 6-7pm, and
September 11th 4-5pm. Boba Social is on August 29th 6-8pm, Game Night is on September 4th 57pm, Ice Cream Social is on September 8th 4-6pm, and Rac-N-Cue is on September 12th 6-9pm.

Colleen: Yes, it is two.
