Section Representative

An individual chosen by section staff to represent any given chapter in that section. The position is often held by alumni of Alpha Phi Omega who still want to retain an active role in the fraternity.

The position of section representative is a nationally mandated position (in fact the only position that a section chair is asked to fill). The requirements are simply not being an active member or advisor to a given chapter; however, generally alumni are not made representative of their chapter. Duties of the Section Rep include keeping the section chair informed on the state of the chapter, and promoting risk management.

Section Representatives are voted into place by their host chapter in Section 4, and like advisors, serve and leave at the pleasure of the chapter. Generally speaking, the Section Chair will appoint an alumni to be a represenative for a chapter, and after a period of time (the chapters perogative) the chapter will vote them in as Rep.

Chapters have different relations with their section representative. Some chapters see a great deal of them, and treat them like an additional advisor (which is what they are not). Iota Phi has traditionally had a less intense relationship with its section rep than many other schools, owing mostly to the fact their section rep tends to live farther away from them than most.

Past Iota Phi Section Reps:

• Henry Chan (? - S'04)
• Valerie Quitariano (F'04 - S'05)
• Lisa Butt (F'05-present)
