Old Business:

I move to create an appendix section in the By-Laws and place the resolutions that
were passed as of fall 2010 into said Appendix section.
Motion Passes 6-0-0
New Business:

Where as: All the elected members on IFC must maintain a 2.5 GPA for the entirety of
their term
Where as: Matthew James Lexcen was below the required standard of a 2.5 GPA
Where as: The Chapter Presidents gave permission to Matthew James Lexcen to serve
on IFC during the duration of a Grade Appeal, which could last from 2 weeks to 2
months
Where as: It has been two months without any word about the Grade Appeal for
Matthew James Lexcen from either himself or John Bulcock
Be it Resolved: That the Chapter Presidents reconsider their vote to allow Matthew
James Lexcen to continue serve as the Vice President of Academic Affairs and
Membership Development.
Dan Lien – President’s trust has been violated because he was given the opportunity to serve while his
grade appeal was pending. His time to let us know how his appeal went has passed.
Gregory Land – Let’s not compromise the integrity of our By-Laws
Lexcen: I brought this forward to the council on my own, please look at this when you make your
decision. I have taken my appeal to my professor and my advisor. I have thrown a log jam into the
appeals process and because of this my appeal is not complete. I have been informed that my appeal will
be finished before April.
(paper vote)

Motion to amend bylaw article II. Section 5. To state "Removal from office: Any
executive board officer may be removed by a majority vote of the Interfraternity council"
Greg- The executive board is to remain impartial, so why would they have a say in any
vote to govern themselves.
Ray- The executive board has the inside view

V.
I move to amend article 3 section 4: I move to amend this article to change quorum to a
majority.
