Dear Frater Consuls:

The Executive Council has been hard at work over the last year. Several fraternity policies have been updated, a few bylaw changes have been made, and a list is attached for your review. I have also attached the complete updated bylaws for your review.

Most importantly, the inception of our billhighway system has significantly aided our fraternity in the collection of national dues and initiation fees, while holding individual members accountable for their past due balances. To that end, the Fraternity passed a resolution that outlined penalties for past due balances. You should familiarize yourself with the resolution on past due balances so that you know how penalties will work using the billhighway system going forward. Individual members will be held accountable by the National Fraternity and can face forced inactive status if they do not comply. Further your ability to present for chartering (if you are a colony) or vote at convention will be impacted if your members don’t comply.

If you have any questions about anything here, please let me know and I will be happy to discuss your concerns with you.
