Rho Chi Chapter Recordkeeping
It is important for chapters to retain all documents and pass them down year to year. When advisors leave, these records should stay with the chapter. These are all important records to track your alumni and guide your future chapter leaders. Items to keep on file include:
- Chapter updated bylaws and procedures,
- NEW 501c3 status documentation from university and/or IRS, annual filings with the State and IRS,
- Chapter meeting minutes,
- Annual chapter membership election reports submitted to National Office,
- Annual chapter reports submitted to National Office,
- Annual list of chapter members; advisors have the ability to export, we recommend you ask members to provide a personal email for their member profiles and for future alumni contact as one’s university/school email may be deactivated upon graduation, and
- Records of payments from members and dues payments to the Rho Chi Society.
