This question depends on how involved you want to be. The basic answer would come from our seven expectations of membership. This includes maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.5, being involved in at least one additional campus or community organization, completing 85% of educational assignments throughout the year (PME), attend at least 75% of chapter Ritual events, be financially current or on an approved payment plan, complete a minimum of 20 community service hours, and attend at least 85% of chapter meetings. If your son wants to hold a position, that would require additional time. We have intentionally provided resources to help cut the time commitment down.
