The Communication Committee is focused on the brotherhood and methods of
communication between the officers of our pledge class. Finding ways of organizing and
executing plans in a more efficient manner is one of the primary goals. Planning social
events with brothers of the Theta Chi chapter and other chapters is another main focus.
Public Relations committee is focused on the marketing aspect of our organization.
Promoting our internal and external image is the primary focus. Our internal image is
within the fraternity, and external is outside of the organization. They promote our future
events and provide relatable business articles to those who follow our social media pages
to educate the community. Also working with other business organizations on campus to
organize events and fundraisers is one of the best results of public relations.
Professional Activities and Sponsorship is focused on the professionalism of our pledge
class and organization. Maintaining a professional image is one of our three core
pillars. Also, corporate sponsorships work well with public relations. Assisting other
companies and businesses with advertisement and marketing is one benefit we can
provide to outside companies. Practicing our pitching skills and confidence is a
valuable result of this committee.
The Finance and Financial Development committee helps raise money for our pledge
class as well as organize the budget sheet and incoming revenue for any event, including
community service. Organizing weekly tabling schedules and hosting large-scale events is
the primary concern of this committee.

Community Service is one of our three pillars and values. Giving back to the
community is a part of our mission and vision. This committee focuses on hosting
community service events and tabling. Finding any opportunity to give back to
those in need is their duty.
Logistics and Itinerary creates task sheets and inventory for every event that is planned
by other officers. Having a set format and step-by-step process for planning and
executing events is significant to many officer’s positions to prevent confusion. This
committee focuses on managing these sheets and the preparation for events.
The Education and Scholarship committee focuses on the academics and education
of our organization. Finding scholarships, awarding those who should be
recognized, and maintaining good grades is the responsibility of this committee.
Without award and scholarships, we would not be recognized for our hard work and
would not be able to focus on our studies outside and inside of this organization.
Historian and Webmaster committee focuses on the quality management of the
organization’s websites and pictures. Some weekly tasks include having a set amount
of pictures and videos taken, while managing our website to attract guests. Any art or
quality images and details would go through this committee. Some completed work
includes our class banner and our blogger page.

absence of the previous VP of Public Relations.

Quality Report
Officer Evaluation Example
Officer evaluations were conducted by the President and Senior Vice President to each officer a minimum of 3
times each throughout the pledging process. These were used to check up on how they were doing with their
position. The focus of who to evaluate would change depending on who has event-planning heavy events,
difficulty, or an increased workload at that period of time. On the side of the evaluation, there is a ‘Topics to
Discuss’ and ‘President’s Task’ section. This helps remind what we should talk about and what is of high
importance during the evaluation. The President’s Task consists of tasks that the President or Senior Vice
President should do to help the officer.
Discussion
• Breakfast Club Logistics, food,
quantity, time
• Pizza Night
• Work with VPPR to get a head count
• Strategic Plan and Flyer ready
• Revenue and Expenses check
Criteria and fields on the form include the following:
Upcoming Events: This field is for upcoming events that the officer is responsible for. This will help
them prepare for the upcoming events so that they can plan ahead of time.
Personal Goals: These are goals that the officer may have for themselves and the pledge class
throughout the whole process. This can include skills such as improving pitching skills, public speaking,
and working with a team. Solutions are given through other events available so that they can somehow
approach their tasks differently to also better themselves.
Present Tasks: Present Tasks consists of tasks that they should do as soon as possible for the topics
discussed.
Future Tasks: Future Tasks consists of tasks for the future (usually after 7 days) for upcoming events
or officers.
CO Tasks: CO Tasks help keep track of what their corresponding officer assigned, to help them keep on
track.
Comments: These could include what information is important regarding the topics discussed or action
tasks.

This bar graph shows the overall quantity and tasks completed for each officer position. It shows who is given
more tasks than others and each officer’s rate of completion. The SVP is given more tasks because he assists the
President with assisting every officer.
The President and Senior Vice President both assist every officer position through these evaluations and
informally. This is why they have a significant amount of tasks compared to others. These two charts show how
many tasks the President assigns to themselves and the SVP every 7 days.
Later in the process, tasks are split more evenly to prevent spreading themselves too thin. Committees were also
managed and finalized, which results in a drop after a certain date in evaluations and President and SVP Tasks.
