Program Changes

• Removed Pledge Group Fellowship and Service projects. In their place was a "Chandler's Challenge" requirement, which was the namesake's challenge to each pledge class to create a project to help youth. One side-effect of this was a lower number of service projects on the calendar for the term.
• Four Pledge Trainers were put in charge of each group. This is an unprecedented high, as pledge groups were previously led by at most three trainers.
• Seven Big Bro/Little Bro Chairs were appointed as opposed to the typical six. This had not been done since Jaromay Term.
• Recording Secretaries began sending out semiweekly e-mail newsletters every Tuesday and Thursday to reduce e-mail spam to the chapter. These semiweekly e-mail newsletters typically include updates and announcements from ExComm officers and Chairs.
• Recording Secretaries also began a dare penalty for ExComm officers who turned in their powerpoint agenda slides late. The dares are selected by Recording Secretaries from submissions made by the Chapter, and announced at the meetings.
• This is the first term for which the Wiki was taken down a week before Family Revealing. Prior to this, only family pages were made invisible.
• Whereas during Krenek Term the chapter paid for registration of all delegates and all hotel fees for Nationals, this term faced limitations. The chapter paid for the voting delegates' registration and hotel fees, and had other delegates share the room with the voting delegates while splitting the remainder of the cost. Non-voting delegates would be reimbursed for the conference registration fee as well. The lack of hotel coverage was due to large losses incurred during the 2009 Region X Conference and Winter Retreat during McKenzie Term.
  • There are differing opinions as to why hotel coverage was not offered. One reason being that hotels/airfare are not a direct part of obtaining leadership experience and thus should not be covered. Another reason is the belief that Nationals is not the only leadership event that is worthwhile of funding, rather that money saved from spending on the few that go to Nationals could be spent on paying the entire chapter's registration fee for a much closer leadership event. Thus hopefully allowing more members to gain leadership experience.
• Scavenger Hunt was made much more tame for risk management reasons due to feedback from the Section Chair and Region Director. See the Scavenger Hunt page for more details.
• Xpressions was turned into a blog this term.
• Due to unwieldy pledge class sizes in previous terms, a maximum capacity of 110 pledges was placed on this term. In previous terms, there was no limit. The 110 cap was an attempt to better-accommodate the pledges and actives, since chapter events and programs were getting hard to manage. e.g. Most Pledge Retreat locations did not have enough camp sites. The cap was placed on a "first come, first serve" basis. The first 110 students were given a corresponding number to let them know that they were within the cap.
