==Dates==
*Initiation: Friday, Feburary 24th, 2017
*Pledge Retreat: April 7th to 9th, 2017
*Special Event

==Program Changes==

<b>Pledge Program Related Changes</b>

* Decreased number of leadership credit from 5 to 4.
* Removed "Big Fellowship" and replaced it with "Big LFS Events".
* Included the definition of IC and OIC.
* Changed the trainer portion requirement to "Must attend a service OR LEADERSHIP EVENT with Trainer 1 and a fellowship OR LEADERSHIP EVENT with Trainer."
* Changed SNEAK to Class Challenge
* Included wild card for attending Sectionals Roll Call.
* Decreased Number of Interviews with the idea of quality over quantity. As a result, to exchange with the decreased amount, Alumni, Advisor, Active, Pledge, and IC interviews have increased in length from 1/3 to 1/2 of a page.
** 3 IC to 2
** 30 Active to 20 Active
** 20 Pledge to 20 Pledge
** 2 Alumni to 1 Alumni
* Include a limit of BB/LB Chairs Interview Per Pledge
* Amendment C-16 was voted in, allowing pledges a to cross on bad academic standing as inactive status, so as long as they fulfill the other requirements needed to cross. This eliminates the need for a special meeting during Grilling.
* Due to terrible weather conditions, Pledge Retreat has been postponed to start on Saturday Morning 10:00 am rather than during Friday Night. Despite this setback, Pledge Retreat ran it's usual order or events without any confounds.
* Pledge quizzes were reformatted to include new information, change the questions from exclusively word-for-word to other ways of answering the question (i.e. draw-the-line to match, multiple choice).
* Brought back trainer group activities.
* Restructured the BBLB system so that BBLB forms are due before interviews with BBLB chairs began.
* Attending study sessions was made a requirement.
** One before and after midpoint.
* Not meeting midpoint requirements resulted in a DP as stated by the strikes contract.
** To prevent this from occuring, trainer pre-check ups were made so that there is a hypothetical "midpoint" before midpoint. This happens a week before the actual midpoint week in order to allow the pledge to focus on missing requirements.
*Amendment C-17 Passed: Amendment C-16 may only take effect should the chapter be in good standing with OSFL which constitutes at least a 2.5 chapter-wide quarterly GPA.
*Amendment C-18 Passed: A slight correction to the bylaws, initially it was not written that those who have Provisional status had to pay dues, but it was for other statuses. a correction to this minor error was brought up.

==Random Facts==
* During Actives vs Pledges, the actives started off 2-0, but pledges caught up to 2-2 with the actives ultimately winning at the tiebreaker (dodgeball). It was through this that the actives almost ended up blowing a 2-0 lead in the Actives vs Pledges tiebreaker.

==Awards==
* Sectionals Man-Mile Award, and the award for most attendees (70)

Chapter Distinguished Service Key

2017-05-12T19:43:56Z

Ashish Bhatt: /* Past Recipients of Iota Phi's Chapter DSK */

[[File:ChapterDSK.jpg|thumb|right|The Chapter Distinguished Service Key]]
==Description==
A chapter's highest distinction it can bestow is the Chapter Distinguished Service Award. This chapter key is given in recognition to members for outstanding service to the fraternity. This key bears the greek letters of the fraternity in gold on a background of black enamel.<ref name="recipients">"[http://www.apo.org/show/About_Us/Awards/Chapter/Chapter_DSK]." ''Chapter Distinguished Service Award''. Retrieved on April 26, 2010.</ref> The Chapter Disguished Service Key was created in 1948.

Within [[Iota Phi]], there is no limit on how many people can recieve the chapter DSK per term, only that the recipient must gain a 3/4 vote of the membership.

==History of the DSK at Iota Phi==

From 1978 through 1987, no Chapter Distinguished Service Keys (DSKs) were awarded. One reason was that at the time, brothers would use Brother [[Earle M. Herbert]] as a benchmark. People would not feel that anyone could compare to Earle, so the chapter was "philosophically opposed" to the Chapter DSK.<ref name="Beth Tom">"Online Interview with Elizabeth Tom." Online interview. 2 May 2011.</ref> This trend broke some time in the late 1980s, with the first known recipients being [[John W. Jones]] and Doreen Brown.

Another reason for the lack of DSKs is that the chapter was very small and intimate until the late 1980s.<ref name="Rich Hale">"Online Interview with Rich Hale." Online interview. 3 May 2011.</ref> With the group of brothers being so small and doing virtually every project together, it was difficult to single someone out as distinct in their service. There were also many other awards available for the brothers of the time such as the [[BASOOS]] or Ugly Mug. Moreover, the DSK had a steep price tag. The chapter did not have the budget for DSKs back then, so the keys given to John Jones and Doreen Brown came out of Brother [[Rich Hale]]'s checking account. Lastly, the chapter had a very hard time voting people in since they could hardly reach the proper quorum. The chapter's membership committee revised the rules to make voting more feasible.

Once the chapter finally began awarding DSKs, it promoted a new tradition. When one would wear their Chapter DSK, they would also wear a pledge pin as a reminder to work hard. Just as one earns their right to wear the Fraternity's letters, so too must one earn their right to wear a DSK. The award was not in recognition for some accomplished goal. Instead, it marked the beginning of a new path of service that the chapter would set a person on.

In the 1990s, DSKs were still relatively rare, as only six keys were offered throughout the entire decade. The award was considered such a high honor that, presumably, not a single person was given the award between 1992 and 1995. According to [[Anthony Toy]], it was held in such high esteem that the chapter was almost "scared" to award it.<ref name="Anthony Toy">"Facebook Private Message from Anthony Toy." Online interview. 19 May 2010.</ref> While the distribution increased in the 1990s compared to the 1980s, it increased even more in the following decade.

From 2000 to 2010, thirteen DSKs were awarded. One explanation for the increase is that there may have been less stigma in awarding the DSK compared to the past. Another possibility is that the chapter had substantially grown in size over the past couple decades, so students may have felt there were many more exceptional individuals to honor.

Chapter Distinguished Service Key

2015-02-14T19:28:32Z

Ashish Bhatt: /* Past Recipients of Iota Phi's Chapter DSK */

[[File:ChapterDSK.jpg|thumb|right|The Chapter Distinguished Service Key]]
==Description==
A chapter's highest distinction it can bestow is the Chapter Distinguished Service Award. This chapter key is given in recognition to members for outstanding service to the fraternity. This key bears the greek letters of the fraternity in gold on a background of black enamel.<ref name="recipients">"[http://www.apo.org/show/About_Us/Awards/Chapter/Chapter_DSK]." ''Chapter Distinguished Service Award''. Retrieved on April 26, 2010.</ref> The Chapter Disguished Service Key was created in 1948.

Within [[Iota Phi]], there is no limit on how many people can recieve the chapter DSK per term, only that the recipient must gain a 3/4 vote of the membership.

==History of the DSK at Iota Phi==

From 1978 through 1987, no Chapter Distinguished Service Keys (DSKs) were awarded. One reason was that at the time, brothers would use Brother [[Earle M. Herbert]] as a benchmark. People would not feel that anyone could compare to Earle, so the chapter was "philosophically opposed" to the Chapter DSK.<ref name="Beth Tom">"Online Interview with Elizabeth Tom." Online interview. 2 May 2011.</ref> This trend broke some time in the late 1980s, with the first known recipients being [[John W. Jones]] and Doreen Brown.

Another reason for the lack of DSKs is that the chapter was very small and intimate until the late 1980s.<ref name="Rich Hale">"Online Interview with Rich Hale." Online interview. 3 May 2011.</ref> With the group of brothers being so small and doing virtually every project together, it was difficult to single someone out as distinct in their service. There were also many other awards available for the brothers of the time such as the [[BASOOS]] or Ugly Mug. Moreover, the DSK had a steep price tag. The chapter did not have the budget for DSKs back then, so the keys given to John Jones and Doreen Brown came out of Brother [[Rich Hale]]'s checking account. Lastly, the chapter had a very hard time voting people in since they could hardly reach the proper quorum. The chapter's membership committee revised the rules to make voting more feasible.

Once the chapter finally began awarding DSKs, it promoted a new tradition. When one would wear their Chapter DSK, they would also wear a pledge pin as a reminder to work hard. Just as one earns their right to wear the Fraternity's letters, so too must one earn their right to wear a DSK. The award was not in recognition for some accomplished goal. Instead, it marked the beginning of a new path of service that the chapter would set a person on.

In the 1990s, DSKs were still relatively rare, as only six keys were offered throughout the entire decade. The award was considered such a high honor that, presumably, not a single person was given the award between 1992 and 1995. According to [[Anthony Toy]], it was held in such high esteem that the chapter was almost "scared" to award it.<ref name="Anthony Toy">"Facebook Private Message from Anthony Toy." Online interview. 19 May 2010.</ref> While the distribution increased in the 1990s compared to the 1980s, it increased even more in the following decade.

From 2000 to 2010, thirteen DSKs were awarded. One explanation for the increase is that there may have been less stigma in awarding the DSK compared to the past. Another possibility is that the chapter had substantially grown in size over the past couple decades, so students may have felt there were many more exceptional individuals to honor.

Lastly, the chapter had a very hard time voting people in since they could hardly reach the proper quorum. The chapter's membership committee revised the rules to make voting more feasible.

Once the chapter finally began awarding DSKs, it promoted a new tradition. When one would wear their Chapter DSK, they would also wear a pledge pin as a reminder to work hard. Just as one earns their right to wear the Fraternity's letters, so too must one earn their right to wear a DSK. The award was not in recognition for some accomplished goal. Instead, it marked the beginning of a new path of service that the chapter would set a person on.

In the 1990s, DSKs were still relatively rare, as only six keys were offered throughout the entire decade. The award was considered such a high honor that, presumably, not a single person was given the award between 1992 and 1995. According to [[Anthony Toy]], it was held in such high esteem that the chapter was almost "scared" to award it.<ref name="Anthony Toy">"Facebook Private Message from Anthony Toy." Online interview. 19 May 2010.</ref> While the distribution increased in the 1990s compared to the 1980s, it increased even more in the following decade.

From 2000 to 2010, thirteen DSKs were awarded. One explanation for the increase is that there may have been less stigma in awarding the DSK compared to the past. Another possibility is that the chapter had substantially grown in size over the past couple decades, so students may have felt there were many more exceptional individuals to honor.

Chapter Distinguished Service Key

2014-06-02T20:09:00Z

Ashish Bhatt: /* Past Recipients of Iota Phi's Chapter DSK */

[[File:ChapterDSK.jpg|thumb|right|The Chapter Distinguished Service Key]]
==Description==
A chapter's highest distinction it can bestow is the Chapter Distinguished Service Award. This chapter key is given in recognition to members for outstanding service to the fraternity. This key bears the greek letters of the fraternity in gold on a background of black enamel.<ref name="recipients">"[http://www.apo.org/show/About_Us/Awards/Chapter/Chapter_DSK]." ''Chapter Distinguished Service Award''. Retrieved on April 26, 2010.</ref> The Chapter Disguished Service Key was created in 1948.

Within [[Iota Phi]], there is no limit on how many people can recieve the chapter DSK per term, only that the recipient must gain a 3/4 vote of the membership.

==History of the DSK at Iota Phi==

From 1978 through 1987, no Chapter Distinguished Service Keys (DSKs) were awarded. One reason was that at the time, brothers would use Brother [[Earle M. Herbert]] as a benchmark. People would not feel that anyone could compare to Earle, so the chapter was "philosophically opposed" to the Chapter DSK.<ref name="Beth Tom">"Online Interview with Elizabeth Tom." Online interview. 2 May 2011.</ref> This trend broke some time in the late 1980s, with the first known recipients being [[John W. Jones]] and Doreen Brown.

Another reason for the lack of DSKs is that the chapter was very small and intimate until the late 1980s.<ref name="Rich Hale">"Online Interview with Rich Hale." Online interview. 3 May 2011.</ref> With the group of brothers being so small and doing virtually every project together, it was difficult to single someone out as distinct in their service. There were also many other awards available for the brothers of the time such as the [[BASOOS]] or Ugly Mug. Moreover, the DSK had a steep price tag. The chapter did not have the budget for DSKs back then, so the keys given to John Jones and Doreen Brown came out of Brother [[Rich Hale]]'s checking account. Lastly, the chapter had a very hard time voting people in since they could hardly reach the proper quorum. The chapter's membership committee revised the rules to make voting more feasible.

Once the chapter finally began awarding DSKs, it promoted a new tradition. When one would wear their Chapter DSK, they would also wear a pledge pin as a reminder to work hard. Just as one earns their right to wear the Fraternity's letters, so too must one earn their right to wear a DSK. The award was not in recognition for some accomplished goal. Instead, it marked the beginning of a new path of service that the chapter would set a person on.

In the 1990s, DSKs were still relatively rare, as only six keys were offered throughout the entire decade. The award was considered such a high honor that, presumably, not a single person was given the award between 1992 and 1995. According to [[Anthony Toy]], it was held in such high esteem that the chapter was almost "scared" to award it.<ref name="Anthony Toy">"Facebook Private Message from Anthony Toy." Online interview. 19 May 2010.</ref> While the distribution increased in the 1990s compared to the 1980s, it increased even more in the following decade.

From 2000 to 2010, thirteen DSKs were awarded. One explanation for the increase is that there may have been less stigma in awarding the DSK compared to the past. Another possibility is that the chapter had substantially grown in size over the past couple decades, so students may have felt there were many more exceptional individuals to honor.

Pledge Retreat

2014-04-11T07:38:35Z

Ashish Bhatt: /* Driving */

'''Pledge Retreat''' is retreat organized for, and occasionally by the [[pledge class]]. Usually involves camping, but has also come in the form of lock-ins at various locations. The purpose of pledge retreat is to allow the [[pledges]] and [[pledge parents]] to get to know each other better.

=List of Retreat Sites=
*Fall 2003 ([[Hancock Class|Hancock]]): Santa Rosa, CA
*Spring 2004 ([[Toy Class|Toy]]): Sunset state Beach (near Santa Cruz)
*Fall 2005 ([[West Class|West]]): The Episcopal Church of St.Martin, Davis, CA (it was a lock in)
*Spring 2005 ([[Tran Class|Tran]]): Campground near San Luis Reservoir/Los Banos
*Fall 2005 ([[Schroeder Class|Schroeder]]): Codorniz Campground (Raymond, CA)
*Spring 2006 ([[Fong-Quan Class|Fong-Quan]]): n/a
*Fall 2006 ([[Westlake Class|Westlake]]): Lake Berryessa (Berryessa, CA)
*Spring 2007 ([[Mayen Class|Mayen]]): Sunset State Beach (Watsonville, CA)
*Fall 2007 ([[Jadel Class|Jadel]]): Codorniz Campground (Raymond, CA)
*Spring 2008 ([[Lipton Class|Lipton]]): Sunset State Beach (Watsonville, CA)
*Fall 2008 ([[Krenek Class|Krenek]]): Hidden View Campground (Raymond, CA)
*Spring 2009 ([[Jaromay Class|Jaromay]]): Sunset State Beach (Watsonville, CA)
*Fall 2009 ([[McKenzie Class|McKenzie]]): Folsom Lake State Recreation Area (Folsom, CA)
*Spring 2010 ([[Luong Class|Luong]]): Sunset State Beach (Watsonville, CA)
*Fall 2010 ([[Chandler Class|Chandler]]): Hidden View Campground (Raymond, CA)
*Spring 2011 ([[Chew Class|Chew]]): Hidden View Campground (Raymond, CA)
*Fall 2011 ([[Zlatkovich Class|Zlatkovich]]): Folsom Lake State Recreation Area (Folsom, CA)
*Spring 2012 ([[Serrano Class|Serrano]]): Hidden View Campground (Raymond, CA)

=Retreat Site Descriptions=
==Folsom Lake State Recreation Area (Granite Bay, CA)==
[[File:Folsom_Lake_campsite.jpg|thumb|right|Detailed map of Folsom Lake]]

===Pros===
* Close to Davis (~40 miles, 45 minutes), so easy to get supplies and travel without incident

===Cons===
* Poison oak
* Other campers may be nearby

==Hensley Lake Recreation Area (Raymond, CA)==
[[File:Hensley_Lake_campsite.jpg|thumb|right|Detailed map of Hensley Lake]]
GPS coordinates: 37.12472, -119.89722

===Pros===
* Very spacious
* Good parking
* Secluded, so volume is not an issue
* APO has previously bargained down site reservation fees by offering to do service. This option has not been available since 2008 through at least 2013.
* Grills on site
* Has power outlets in the gazebo area, if needed

===Cons===
* Very far from Davis, drive can be unsafe in the rain
* Service opportunities do not always exist

==Sunset State Beach (Watsonville, CA)==
[[File:Sunset_beach_campsite.png|thumb|right|Detailed map of Sunset Beach]]

===Pros===
* Spacious
* Beach area for fellowship activities
* Nice area to do trust-fall-type activities if desired
* Can usually clean up the site for service

===Cons===
* Cold weather
* Camp sites are very close to each other, so other campers are likely to complain to park rangers if APO is too loud
* Quiet hours begin at 10 pm and are strictly enforced
* May not be good for large pledge classes (90+). In [[Luong Class|Spring 2010]], the park ranger asked Iota Phi not to come back with such a large group. About 220 APO brothers attended that term, well beyond the chapter's usual 180-person cap for that site. Before using this site, ask the park staff what an appropriate number would be. As an alternative, the park ranger has recommended Manresa State Beach, also in Watsonville, CA.

==Rancho Seco Recreational Area (Herald, CA)==
[[File:Rancho_Seco_campsite.jpg|thumb|right|Detailed map of Rancho Seco]]
*The chapter has not yet held a retreat at this location, but officers have considered it a viable option.

=Safety=

Below are some tips to minimize safety risks at Pledge Retreat or on the way to and from it.

==Driving==
*Get plenty of sleep beforehand if you expect to drive.
*Maintain about six car lengths' distance from other cars on the freeway.
*Maintain your lane and only change lanes if necessary.
*Try to leave earlier in the day at times during which there are fewer cars on the road. Fewer cars on the road means fewer cars to collide with.
*Avoid driving at night. Alcohol-related driving incidents are five times more likely to occur at night than during the day.
*Drive slower if it is raining.

==Emergencies==
*Have a safety procedure and make sure everyone is aware of it.
*Do not play doctor. If someone gets injured call a doctor or go to a hospital immediately.
*Bring a first-aid kit to events at which an injury may occur.
*Avoid activities that are likely to cause injuries at Pledge Retreat, especially if a hospital is far away.

=Safety=

Below are some tips to minimize safety risks at Pledge Retreat or on the way to and from it.

==Driving==
*Get plenty of sleep beforehand if you expect to drive.
*Maintain about six car lengths' distance from other cars on the freeway
*Maintain your lane and only change lanes if necessary.
*Try to leave earlier in the day at times during which there are fewer cars on the road. Fewer cars on the road means fewer cars to collide with.
*Avoid driving at night. Alcohol-related driving incidents are five times more likely to occur at night than during the day.
*Drive slower if it is raining.

==Emergencies==
*Have a safety procedure and make sure everyone is aware of it.
*Do not play doctor. If someone gets injured call a doctor or go to a hospital immediately.
*Bring a first-aid kit to events at which an injury may occur.
*Avoid activities that are likely to cause injuries at Pledge Retreat, especially if a hospital is far away.

==Random Facts==
* Was a grad student from [[Gamma Gamma]] who re-pledged to get to know [[Iota Phi]]. He graduated from UC Davis with a Ph.D. in Neuroscience.
* As a pledge at Gamma Gamma, he told disbelieving actives that he could last for 4 hours. But once you get to know him, you realize that it's true . . . as long as you add "on the toilet" to the end of that statement.
* Once ditched Chapter Forum because he wanted to play Rush! for sixteen straight hours, not sleeping and eating strawberry ice cream . . . even though he's lactose intolerant.
* Is [[Tony Toy]]'s doppelganger.
:* They both pledged [[Carpenter class]].
:* They both received chapter [[DSK]]s.
:* [[Tony Toy|Tony]] graduated from Davis and went to Berkeley for grad school. Isaac graduated from Berkeley and went to Davis for grad school. They were both involved in their new APhiO chapters.
*Basically just an old guy who makes girls wait. (According to [[Merry Chen]]'s interview anyways)

Namesake

2014-02-24T15:25:43Z

Ashish Bhatt:

'''Namesake''' refers to a person for whom a pledge class is named after. Being a namesake is among the highest honors that the National Office or a chapter can bestow upon an individual. Note that a chosen namesake does not necessarily have to be a member of the voting chapter, nor even a member of [[Alpha Phi Omega]]. Whereas [[Iota Phi]] refers to its pledge classes by their namesake, other chapters may refer to their pledge classes in distinct ways, such as [[Gamma Gamma]], where pledge classes are referred to by the namesake's initials (e.g. "WK" for Wilfred Krenek, or "JAM" for Jack A. McKenzie). Some chapters do not use namesakes at all, and refer to their pledge classes in the order they pledge, using Greek letters (the first class would be Alpha, the second Beta, and so on, just as chapters are named).

==Selection==
In the Fall, the pledge class namesake is chosen by the National Office, and Iota Phi will name that pledge class after the national namesake. In the Spring, each [[chapter]] is free to choose their own namesake, so every chapter's Spring namesake will be different. At Iota Phi, it is among the [[Pledge Parents]]' duties to submit a proposal for a namesake for the Spring pledge class; however, ultimate authority in the decision rests with the chapter, and the Spring namesake is chosen via voting by the chapter. Generally, the pledge parent's recommendation is followed by the chapter, however.

For a list of Fall class namesakes, see the [http://www.apo.org/articles/show/106 national site].

Benevolent and Spirited Order of Oil and Sand

Ashish Bhatt: /* BASOOS Recipients */

[[File:MoWuBASOOS.JPG|100px|thumb|right|A piece of the BASOOS cut out from one belonging to [[Monlia Wu]].]]
'''The Benevolent and Spirited Order of Oil and Sand''', aka the '''BASOOS''', is an award that was created after a harrowing trip to a national convention during which the bus broke down in the middle of nowhere/desert. The brothers going banded together and still made it to the convention despite their travelling woes. Thus the BASOOS was created and given to people in the chapter who have shown excellent spirit and passion for the chapter. It is an award that is passed from one recipient to the next when the holder feels someone is deserving (usually when someone goes above and beyond their call of duty as an officer or as an active).
[[File:TeriSheetsBASOOS.jpg|100px|thumb|right|A V-shaped piece of the BASOOS cut out from one belonging to [[Teri Sheets]].]]

==History and Tradition==
[[File:Nationals1982.jpg|200px|thumb|right|[[Region X]] members with Earle Herbert at the 1982 National Convention.]]
In December 1982, several Iota Phi brothers left Davis in the Boy Scout Troup 66 bus headed toward the 1982 National Convention in Kansas City, MO. Along the way, they planned to pick up several other brothers. The group got into the Tehachapi Mountains when the bus blew an oil line and was stranded. Several brothers turned around and went back home. However, several other brothers found any means possible to complete the pilgrimage to the Mecca of Alpha Phi Omega, Kansas City, as the National Office was located there in 1982 (in the old Waltower Building).

In 1983, Earle Herbert, the National Vice President at the time and later National President, bestowed upon those brothers who drove, flew, or bussed their way to the National Convention, that Iota Phi since has passed down through all generations: The Benevolent and Spirited Order of Oil and Sand (BASOOS). The "Oil and Sand" refers to the busted oil line in the middle of a desert. After the National Convention, the chapter decided to pass the BASOOS down to an active brother who has exhibited a spirited and positive attitude throughout the term. The BASOOS used to be handed down at each chapter banquet, at least through the early 1990s. In more recent times, it has been passed down only when a holder felt that a Brother was deserving. This award is considered to be among the highest honors an Iota Phi brother can earn, surpassed only by the [[Chapter Distinguished Service Key]] and, perhaps, becoming a [[Namesake|pledge class namesake]].

Prior to handing it down the current holder of the BASOOS (which has been a blue ribbon sash with a golden-yellow stripe down the center) cuts a small piece of the sash to keep as his/her memento for receiving the award. In the past, the BASOOS was cut into V-shape piece. More recently, it is cut into a straight piece. Since the sashes have been cut repeatedly and become too short to wear, they are inevitably replaced to keep the tradition alive. Traditionally, once cut, a piece of the BASOOS bears a Key Pin.

==BASOOS Recipients==

Originally there were 7 BASOOS awards, but the whereabouts of two are unknown. The following table lists the known order of recipients for each of the remaining BASOOS from oldest (top) to most recent (bottom).

==Trivia==
[[File:BASOOSCrest.JPG|150px|thumb|right|An image of the BASOOS crest.]]
===The BASOOS Crest===
Dave Emery, one of the original BASOOS recipients, had designed a BASOOS crest. The crest features an oil lamp that represents the oil leaking from the red Boy Scout bus the original recipients had started the trip to the National Convention on. The vehicles in the band are the aforementioned red bus, Dave's yellow car, and a plane--the ways these members started or got to the convention. The heart represents Kansas City, the heartland of the U.S. and location of the 1982 National Convention. The bird is the fraternity's golden eagle. The meaning of the grapes and lightning bolt are unknown.

===The Bus Driver===
The driver of the bus that broke down in the BASOOS origin story was [[John W. Jones]].

Chapter Distinguished Service Key

2014-02-02T06:04:15Z

Ashish Bhatt: /* Past Recipients of Iota Phi's Chapter DSK */

[[File:ChapterDSK.jpg|thumb|right|The Chapter Distinguished Service Key]]
==Description==
A chapter's highest distinction it can bestow is the Chapter Distinguished Service Award. This chapter key is given in recognition to members for outstanding service to the fraternity. This key bears the greek letters of the fraternity in gold on a background of black enamel.<ref name="recipients">"[http://www.apo.org/show/About_Us/Awards/Chapter/Chapter_DSK]." ''Chapter Distinguished Service Award''. Retrieved on April 26, 2010.</ref> The Chapter Disguished Service Key was created in 1948.

Within [[Iota Phi]], there is no limit on how many people can recieve the chapter DSK per term, only that the recipient must gain a 3/4 vote of the membership.

==History of the DSK at Iota Phi==

From 1978 through 1987, no Chapter Distinguished Service Keys (DSKs) were awarded. One reason was that at the time, brothers would use Brother [[Earle M. Herbert]] as a benchmark. People would not feel that anyone could compare to Earle, so the chapter was "philosophically opposed" to the Chapter DSK.<ref name="Beth Tom">"Online Interview with Elizabeth Tom." Online interview. 2 May 2011.</ref> This trend broke some time in the late 1980s, with the first known recipients being [[John W. Jones]] and Doreen Brown.

Another reason for the lack of DSKs is that the chapter was very small and intimate until the late 1980s.<ref name="Rich Hale">"Online Interview with Rich Hale." Online interview. 3 May 2011.</ref> With the group of brothers being so small and doing virtually every project together, it was difficult to single someone out as distinct in their service. There were also many other awards available for the brothers of the time such as the [[BASOOS]] or Ugly Mug. Moreover, the DSK had a steep price tag. The chapter did not have the budget for DSKs back then, so the keys given to John Jones and Doreen Brown came out of Brother [[Rich Hale]]'s checking account. Lastly, the chapter had a very hard time voting people in since they could hardly reach the proper quorum. The chapter's membership committee revised the rules to make voting more feasible.

Once the chapter finally began awarding DSKs, it promoted a new tradition. When one would wear their Chapter DSK, they would also wear a pledge pin as a reminder to work hard. Just as one earns their right to wear the Fraternity's letters, so too must one earn their right to wear a DSK. The award was not in recognition for some accomplished goal. Instead, it marked the beginning of a new path of service that the chapter would set a person on.

In the 1990s, DSKs were still relatively rare, as only six keys were offered throughout the entire decade. The award was considered such a high honor that, presumably, not a single person was given the award between 1992 and 1995. According to [[Anthony Toy]], it was held in such high esteem that the chapter was almost "scared" to award it.<ref name="Anthony Toy">"Facebook Private Message from Anthony Toy." Online interview. 19 May 2010.</ref> While the distribution increased in the 1990s compared to the 1980s, it increased even more in the following decade.

From 2000 to 2010, thirteen DSKs were awarded. One explanation for the increase is that there may have been less stigma in awarding the DSK compared to the past. Another possibility is that the chapter had substantially grown in size over the past couple decades, so students may have felt there were many more exceptional individuals to honor.

Membership Retention

2014-01-26T20:59:32Z

Ashish Bhatt: /* Records */

[[Membership Retention]] means getting active brothers to stay active. While anyone who decides [[Alpha Phi Omega]] is not for them is free to leave, a chapter should try to retain its members so it can develop all of its programs further. Actives must impress people with the quality of their programs, and also figure out how to improve the programs to keep people involved. For [[Iota Phi]], retention has historically been a challenge because the chapter is so big, and the turnover rate is often very high. Usually, [[Membership Vice Presidents]] are held responsible for improving retention.

==Challenges==

Several factors make membership retention at Iota Phi challenging:

* The chapter is so large that people sometimes feel lost in the crowd, or feel their contributions are not recognized.
* People do not feel they have a role in the chapter. If they do not care, someone else will.
* Attempts at retention are passive. That is, they involve an officer setting some resource in place, and expect actives to pursue it. More active approaches are needed to understand why some actives turn away.
* Since the turnover rate is so high, one term of inactivity would make a brother feel completely lost and unfamiliar with the chapter.
* Records are usually not kept about why members choose to stay active, or choose to leave.
* Older actives get tired of seeing the same events repeatedly.
* Academics become a big hurdle.

==Approaches to Membership Retention==

Many different things have been tried over the years to improve membership retention.

===Active-only Events===

Membership VPs have occasionally tried creating events that only actives are allowed to attend. This was meant to give actives some time to talk about things that they felt more reserved in talking about around pledges. Officers who try to run active-only events should be careful, however. No Alpha Phi Omega event other than rituals can exclude anyone. This means all pledges, inter-chapter members and even the general public are allowed to attend. At most, you can emphasize that an event deals with active-specific issues, and would only be beneficial to them.

===Active Interviews===

Occasionally, actives were given the option of interviewing around 15 pledges for a wildcard that substitutes completion of one other requirement for active membership. This approach is meant to help actives meet newer members and create more relationships within the chapter, so people never feel too disconnected.

===Active Retreat===

Membership VPs have tried active retreats with varying success. Usually, this event has worked best before the start of a term. Particularly, [[ExComm]] has held pre-retreats to check out the [[Pledge Parents]]' intended [[Pledge Retreat]] campsite. Actives have often been invited to join in.

===Awards===

Membership VPs have offered many different kinds of awards to recognize actives for their contributions, and remind them that they are valuable. This is meant to encourage people to stay active. Some awards include [[Active of the Week]] or "Awesome Active Awards", Brotherhood Awards, and more. The physical award is usually a certificate, but officers have been known to give out other things, like painted paddles. In [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]], Membership VPs created three awards for actives: a mug to be awarded by themselves, a glove to be awarded by ExComm, and a plate to be passed from active to active.

===Goal-setting===

One retention idea involves requiring actives to set at least one [[SMARTER Goal]] for the term, if not more. Actives can set a simple goal like fulfilling active requirements, or other goals based on their own constraints and ability. They can set less-intensive goals like simply fulfilling 30 service hours, or more intensive goals like doubling all active requirements, or starting a new project. In doing so, officers can have something about actives to track the progress of, and see whether people are getting what they want to out of membership. If people fail to pursue their goals, the officer has something to ask them about to figure out why the person is not as active. Inactive members may also be asked to set goals, in an attempt to either get them active again, or start a conversation about why the individual stopped being active. This can lead to understanding flaws in the chapter that could be improved upon. Another added benefit of this exercise is that it has actives practice goal-setting, which is an indispensable tool for their leadership development.

This process can be managed by [[Membership Retention#Retention Chair|Retention Chairs]].

===Incentives===

Membership VPs have tried various incentives to encourage actives to come out and fulfill their requirements. In [[Luong Class|Spring 2010]], officers tried financial incentives. For example, for a Baskin Robbins fellowship, they gave discounts for the first 20 members who came. In [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]], they created customized buttons corresponding to each trait in the [[Scout Law]], and passed a different kind out at each meeting. In [[Harty Class|Fall 2012]], they gave actives who fulfilled their requirements an option to buy active status sweaters.

===MVP Interviews===

In [[Jaromay Class|Spring 2009]], Membership Vice Presidents introduced post-rush, mid-term, and end-term interviews for actives. These interviews entailed getting to know actives and trying to figure out their goals for the term, or to help them come up with a plan to make active status. This was intended as a retention tool, and attending all three interviews earned one wildcard. One concern for this idea was that having actives approach the officers was a passive affair that would only attract those who already intend to be active. It did not help with assessing why the more distant members had begun to go inactive.

===MVP Office Hours===

This idea has been tried occasionally. It is similar to the MVP Interviews, as actives are encouraged to come and talk to the Membership Vice Presidents about plans to make active status. Actives could also talk about any concerns they had about meeting requirements here, and the officers could help them come up with a plan. Also similar to the MVP Interviews idea, this strategy targets those who already intend to be active. However, some people find it very helpful.

===Retention Chair===

A retention chair is a part of the [[Membership Committee]] (MemberComm) that is meant to take an active approach toward helping people who could go either way about making active status. Oftentimes, people are interested in coming back, but end up not doing it because they feel requirements are out of reach, or they do not know anyone anymore. Retention Chairs help those people create their own path toward being active, and they can be the people that keep actives connected to the chapter. It helps to have a diverse group of Retention Chairs, so they can capture wider ranges of people. For example, people of different terms, age groups, or even cliques. While the idea was proposed several times before, it was finally implemented in [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]]. The Membership VPs for this term had a couple Retention Chairs, but did not plan to reveal their identities, or even the fact that the position existed, until [[Banquet]].

The following is a sample outline of the Retention Chair position:

====Composition====
# Three to six chairs of various pledge classes, ages, cliques
# These people would be a part of MemberComm and make regular reports at MemberComm meetings

====Duties====
# To seek out actives and record whether or not actives plan to make active status or otherwise be active, why, or why not.
# To help people who are interested in being active by
## Asking for and recording their goals as an active,
## Helping them create a personalized schedule to meet those goals,
## Regularly contacting actives throughout the term to see what progress they have made in reaching their goals.
# To work with pledge parents to understand why each pledge decided to join Alpha Phi Omega.
# To ask graduating actives what it is that made them stay in Alpha Phi Omega as long as they did.
# To organize all aforementioned records and provide a report to the chapter with recommendations in conjunction with Membership VPs.

===Sunshine Chairs===

Sunshine Chairs were a short-lived position that existed in [[Jaromay Class|Spring 2009]] and [[McKenzie Class|Spring 2010]]. The person holding this position was meant to be anonymous until the end of the term. They would give out small birthday cards and other encouraging remarks to boost active morale. The position was discontinued, but the general idea was merged back into the position of [[Spirit Chair]].

===Undercover Brother===

Undercover Brother is a week full of events in which each active is paired with an anonymous Undercover Big Brother and Undercover Little Brother. Throughout the week, actives go to events and try to figure out who their Undercover Big Brother is. Undercover Brother is meant to encourage actives to build bonds with people they may not know as well. It is similar to a buddy system to keep people active. Some have suggested that this relationship be emphasized later in the term, beyond just the Undercover Brother week. This way, actives can keep each other involved in the long term. This idea was brought back by the Membership VPs and [[Fellowship Vice Presidents|Fellowship VPs]] in [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]] after years of absence.

This was meant to give actives some time to talk about things that they felt more reserved in talking about around pledges. Officers who try to run active-only events should be careful, however. No Alpha Phi Omega event other than rituals can exclude anyone. This means all pledges, inter-chapter members and even the general public are allowed to attend. At most, you can emphasize that an event deals with active-specific issues, and would only be beneficial to them.

===Active Interviews===

Occasionally, actives were given the option of interviewing around 15 pledges for a wildcard that substitutes completion of one other requirement for active membership. This approach is meant to help actives meet newer members and create more relationships within the chapter, so people never feel too disconnected.

===Active Retreat===

Membership VPs have tried active retreats with varying success. Usually, this event has worked best before the start of a term. Particularly, [[ExComm]] has held pre-retreats to check out the [[Pledge Parents]]' intended [[Pledge Retreat]] campsite. Actives have often been invited to join in.

===Awards===

Membership VPs have offered many different kinds of awards to recognize actives for their contributions, and remind them that they are valuable. This is meant to encourage people to stay active. Some awards include [[Active of the Week]] or "Awesome Active Awards", Brotherhood Awards, and more. The physical award is usually a certificate, but officers have been known to give out other things, like painted paddles. In [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]], Membership VPs created three awards for actives: a mug to be awarded by themselves, a glove to be awarded by ExComm, and a plate to be passed from active to active.

===Goal-setting===

One retention idea involves requiring actives to set at least one [[SMARTER Goal]] for the term, if not more. Actives can set a simple goal like fulfilling active requirements, or other goals based on their own constraints and ability. They can set less-intensive goals like simply fulfilling 30 service hours, or more intensive goals like doubling all active requirements, or starting a new project. In doing so, officers can have something about actives to track the progress of, and see whether people are getting what they want to out of membership. If people fail to pursue their goals, the officer has something to ask them about to figure out why the person is not as active. Inactive members may also be asked to set goals, in an attempt to either get them active again, or start a conversation about why the individual stopped being active. This can lead to understanding flaws in the chapter that could be improved upon. Another added benefit of this exercise is that it has actives practice goal-setting, which is an indispensable tool for their leadership development.

This process can be managed by [[Membership Retention#Retention Chair|Retention Chairs]].

===Incentives===

Membership VPs have tried various incentives to encourage actives to come out and fulfill their requirements. In [[Luong Class|Spring 2010]], officers tried financial incentives. For example, for a Baskin Robbins fellowship, they gave discounts for the first 20 members who came. In [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]], they created customized buttons corresponding to each trait in the [[Scout Law]], and passed a different kind out at each meeting. In [[Harty Class|Fall 2012]], they gave actives who fulfilled their requirements an option to buy active status sweaters.

===MVP Interviews===

In [[Jaromay Class|Spring 2009]], Membership Vice Presidents introduced post-rush, mid-term, and end-term interviews for actives. These interviews entailed getting to know actives and trying to figure out their goals for the term, or to help them come up with a plan to make active status. This was intended as a retention tool, and attending all three interviews earned one wildcard. One concern for this idea was that having actives approach the officers was a passive affair that would only attract those who already intend to be active. It did not help with assessing why the more distant members had begun to go inactive.

===MVP Office Hours===

This idea has been tried occasionally. It is similar to the MVP Interviews, as actives are encouraged to come and talk to the Membership Vice Presidents about plans to make active status. Actives could also talk about any concerns they had about meeting requirements here, and the officers could help them come up with a plan. Also similar to the MVP Interviews idea, this strategy targets those who already intend to be active. However, some people find it very helpful.

===Retention Chair===

A retention chair is a part of the [[Membership Committee]] (MemberComm) that is meant to take an active approach toward helping people who could go either way about making active status. Oftentimes, people are interested in coming back, but end up not doing it because they feel requirements are out of reach, or they do not know anyone anymore. Retention Chairs help those people create their own path toward being active, and they can be the people that keep actives connected to the chapter. It helps to have a diverse group of Retention Chairs, so they can capture wider ranges of people. For example, people of different terms, age groups, or even cliques. While the idea was proposed several times before, it was finally implemented in [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]]. The Membership VPs for this term had a couple Retention Chairs, but did not plan to reveal their identities, or even the fact that the position existed, until [[Banquet]].

The following is a sample outline of the Retention Chair position:

====Composition====
# Three to six chairs of various pledge classes, ages, cliques
# These people would be a part of MemberComm and make regular reports at MemberComm meetings

====Duties====
# To seek out actives and record whether or not actives plan to make active status or otherwise be active, why, or why not.
# To help people who are interested in being active by
## Asking for and recording their goals as an active,
## Helping them create a personalized schedule to meet those goals,
## Regularly contacting actives throughout the term to see what progress they have made in reaching their goals.
# To work with pledge parents to understand why each pledge decided to join Alpha Phi Omega.
# To ask graduating actives what it is that made them stay in Alpha Phi Omega as long as they did.
# To organize all aforementioned records and provide a report to the chapter with recommendations in conjunction with Membership VPs.

===Sunshine Chairs===

Sunshine Chairs were a short-lived position that existed in [[Jaromay Class|Spring 2009]] and [[McKenzie Class|Spring 2010]]. The person holding this position was meant to be anonymous until the end of the term. They would give out small birthday cards and other encouraging remarks to boost active morale. The position was discontinued, but the general idea was merged back into the position of [[Spirit Chair]].

===Undercover Brother===

Undercover Brother is a week full of events in which each active is paired with an anonymous Undercover Big Brother and Undercover Little Brother. Throughout the week, actives go to events and try to figure out who their Undercover Big Brother is. Undercover Brother is meant to encourage actives to build bonds with people they may not know as well. It is similar to a buddy system to keep people active. Some have suggested that this relationship be emphasized later in the term, beyond just the Undercover Brother week. This way, actives can keep each other involved in the long term. This idea was brought back by the Membership VPs and [[Fellowship Vice Presidents|Fellowship VPs]] in [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]] after years of absence.

Membership Retention

2014-01-26T20:57:44Z

Ashish Bhatt: /* Records */

[[Membership Retention]] means getting active brothers to stay active. While anyone who decides [[Alpha Phi Omega]] is not for them is free to leave, a chapter should try to retain its members so it can develop all of its programs further. Actives must impress people with the quality of their programs, and also figure out how to improve the programs to keep people involved. For [[Iota Phi]], retention has historically been a challenge because the chapter is so big, and the turnover rate is often very high. Usually, [[Membership Vice Presidents]] are held responsible for improving retention.

==Challenges==

Several factors make membership retention at Iota Phi challenging:

* The chapter is so large that people sometimes feel lost in the crowd, or feel their contributions are not recognized.
* People do not feel they have a role in the chapter. If they do not care, someone else will.
* Attempts at retention are passive. That is, they involve an officer setting some resource in place, and expect actives to pursue it. More active approaches are needed to understand why some actives turn away.
* Since the turnover rate is so high, one term of inactivity would make a brother feel completely lost and unfamiliar with the chapter.
* Records are usually not kept about why members choose to stay active, or choose to leave.
* Older actives get tired of seeing the same events repeatedly.
* Academics become a big hurdle.

==Approaches to Membership Retention==

Many different things have been tried over the years to improve membership retention.

===Active-only Events===

Membership VPs have occasionally tried creating events that only actives are allowed to attend. This was meant to give actives some time to talk about things that they felt more reserved in talking about around pledges. Officers who try to run active-only events should be careful, however. No Alpha Phi Omega event other than rituals can exclude anyone. This means all pledges, inter-chapter members and even the general public are allowed to attend. At most, you can emphasize that an event deals with active-specific issues, and would only be beneficial to them.

===Active Interviews===

Occasionally, actives were given the option of interviewing around 15 pledges for a wildcard that substitutes completion of one other requirement for active membership. This approach is meant to help actives meet newer members and create more relationships within the chapter, so people never feel too disconnected.

Membership VPs have tried active retreats with varying success. Usually, this event has worked best before the start of a term. Particularly, [[ExComm]] has held pre-retreats to check out the [[Pledge Parents]]' intended [[Pledge Retreat]] campsite. Actives have often been invited to join in.

In [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]], Membership VPs created three awards for actives: a mug to be awarded by themselves, a glove to be awarded by ExComm, and a plate to be passed from active to active.

===Goal-setting===

One retention idea involves requiring actives to set at least one [[SMARTER Goal]] for the term, if not more. Actives can set a simple goal like fulfilling active requirements, or other goals based on their own constraints and ability. They can set less-intensive goals like simply fulfilling 30 service hours, or more intensive goals like doubling all active requirements, or starting a new project. In doing so, officers can have something about actives to track the progress of, and see whether people are getting what they want to out of membership. If people fail to pursue their goals, the officer has something to ask them about to figure out why the person is not as active. Inactive members may also be asked to set goals, in an attempt to either get them active again, or start a conversation about why the individual stopped being active. This can lead to understanding flaws in the chapter that could be improved upon. Another added benefit of this exercise is that it has actives practice goal-setting, which is an indispensable tool for their leadership development.

This process can be managed by [[Membership Retention#Retention Chair|Retention Chairs]].

===Incentives===

Membership VPs have tried various incentives to encourage actives to come out and fulfill their requirements. In [[Luong Class|Spring 2010]], officers tried financial incentives. For example, for a Baskin Robbins fellowship, they gave discounts for the first 20 members who came.

Retention Chairs help those people create their own path toward being active, and they can be the people that keep actives connected to the chapter. It helps to have a diverse group of Retention Chairs, so they can capture wider ranges of people. For example, people of different terms, age groups, or even cliques. While the idea was proposed several times before, it was finally implemented in [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]]. The Membership VPs for this term had a couple Retention Chairs, but did not plan to reveal their identities, or even the fact that the position existed, until [[Banquet]].

The following is a sample outline of the Retention Chair position:

====Composition====
# Three to six chairs of various pledge classes, ages, cliques
# These people would be a part of MemberComm and make regular reports at MemberComm meetings

## Helping them create a personalized schedule to meet those goals,
## Regularly contacting actives throughout the term to see what progress they have made in reaching their goals.
# To work with pledge parents to understand why each pledge decided to join Alpha Phi Omega.
# To ask graduating actives what it is that made them stay in Alpha Phi Omega as long as they did.
# To organize all aforementioned records and provide a report to the chapter with recommendations in conjunction with Membership VPs.

===Sunshine Chairs===

Sunshine Chairs were a short-lived position that existed in [[Jaromay Class|Spring 2009]] and [[McKenzie Class|Spring 2010]]. The person holding this position was meant to be anonymous until the end of the term. They would give out small birthday cards and other encouraging remarks to boost active morale. The position was discontinued, but the general idea was merged back into the position of [[Spirit Chair]].

===Undercover Brother===

Undercover Brother is a week full of events in which each active is paired with an anonymous Undercover Big Brother and Undercover Little Brother. Throughout the week, actives go to events and try to figure out who their Undercover Big Brother is. Undercover Brother is meant to encourage actives to build bonds with people they may not know as well. It is similar to a buddy system to keep people active. Some have suggested that this relationship be emphasized later in the term, beyond just the Undercover Brother week. This way, actives can keep each other involved in the long term. This idea was brought back by the Membership VPs and [[Fellowship Vice Presidents|Fellowship VPs]] in [[Chandler Class|Fall 2010]] after years of absence.
