Professional Meetings

Members and pledges will be required to participate in a certain amount of professional meetings that will be set by the executive committee prior to the first meeting of the year.

Members and pledges are required to dress in business casual for the meetings, unless informed otherwise by the executive committee. Business casual does NOT mean casual. T-shirts, jeans, and flip flops are NOT allowed. For some events outside of the meetings, members and pledges will be asked to wear business professional.
