New Annual Report Format and New Awards

In the Texas Tech Convention it was agreed to allow the board to spend some of the monies we make at the end of the year, on chapters. In that spirit, the national office intends to establish four new annual secretary’s awards (two in each category below) awarded each year to chapters that are selected as

A. Most improved chapter

All Pi Tau Sigma chapters are eligible for this award.

$650 for the winning chapter; $350 for the runner up

B. Most active chapter

Pi Tau Sigma chapters that have completed the following are eligible:

i. Held two initiations registered with the national office; one held between July 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009, and the second between January 1, 2010 and the date of the report submission.

ii. Participated (or could not make it due to inclement weather) in the 2010 Texas Tech Convention.

$650 for the winning chapter; $350 for the runner up

The awards will be presented at the Saturday night banquet at the national convention in Chicago in the spring of 2011. The selection process will be based entirely on the annual reports. As such, there will be a new format for submitting the reports. The deadline for submitting your reports has not changed and is June 30th each year. Please remember submitting a report is a requirement to satisfy the good standing status for the next academic year.

All reports should electronically be submitted to Alex Moutsoglou.

Here is a link for the annual reports that each chapter will follow in completing and submitting by June 30th in Adobe Acrobat pdf format:
