Membership Education Requirements |
|
In order to be eligible to receive a bid to enter membership education, you must meet the following requirements:
- You must be enrolled in a band ensemble in both the fall and spring semesters. Court Jesters does not count as an enrolled band ensemble.
- You must maintain at least a minimum GPA of 2.00.
- You must attend at least five of the seven scheduled fall rush functions. If you are unable to attend any rush function for any reason, you must present the Rush or Assistant Rush Chairman with a written excuse by hand or by email before the scheduled rush event.
- You must complete the Instrumental Playing Proficiency audition.
- You must attend the Formal Rush and Bid Selection at the end of the rush season with your official Texas Tech University Transcript.
If you are offered a bid to enter membership education and you accept the bid, you will become a candidate for membership in the fraternity. During the spring 2011 semester, you will be expected to meet a few chapter requirements including tests over fraternity and band history, and the completion of a project that benefits the band program. In addition to these requirements, you will be expected to maintain all fraternity standards and requirements in order to remain an active member in the fraternity once you have been fully initiated.
Service through brotherhood is our promise. For our brotherhood, the most challenging aspect is combining individual efforts to serve one common goal and interest: BAND. In Kappa Kappa Psi, we know each other as fellow band members, friends, and brothers.
We are looking for outstanding band members to join us in our quest for a better band. It is your final decision whether or not to become a membership candidate for Kappa Kappa Psi. You will make no official commitment until January of 2011.
If you chose to commit yourself to Kappa Kappa Psi, you will enjoy lasting memories, brotherhood, and the satisfaction of knowing that you are a part of the guiding force behind the Texas Tech University Band Program.
We hope that you will join us in the experience of a lifetime!
~The Brothers of Alpha Omicron |
