Requirements
Being a Beta member is about more than earning good grades. To remain in good standing with Beta Club, academic achievement, superior character, and leadership must all be demonstrated. The Beta Club membership requirements are as follows.
Meetings
Meetings will be held on the first and third Wednesdays of every month at 7:50 and 3:30 (students may choose which meeting to attend) in PAC 102.
We will hold meetings to discuss specific club service projects. If you are interested in participating in Beta Club, please attend the meetings and arrive on time.
Members will earn 2 points per meeting attended.
Service Projects and Points
As a demonstration of character and leadership, Beta members are required to participate in service projects and to earn points for completed projects. All members must participate in fundraisers. Members must earn 40 points per semester in order to remain in good standing. Those members who fail to meet the points requirement will be placed on probation. Members will earn 4 points for contributing to projects that require collecting goods for donation and 8 points per hour for participating in hands-on service projects. Other points may be earned by participating in committees and helping with various activities. Beta Club projects are projects that our club has agreed to help with and that are announced at our meetings.
Failure to participate in required service projects and earning the required points per semester and to present appropriate documentation of participation will result in Beta members being put on probation. Students who were put on probation last year are reminded that they must complete their “make-up” projects in the fall. Students who have not fulfilled the terms of their probation will be dismissed from the club in January and will not be eligible to rejoin the club. All members are encouraged to participate in as many Beta Club service projects as possible.
Maintaining Grades
Academically, members MUST maintain an overall GPA of 90 each semester.
