The Update | January 31, 2017
Undergraduate Survey
One goal of our Plan of Aspirations is to provide programming and services that better meet the needs of our members. To that end, we will conduct an organization-wide survey to assess our organizational culture and the impact of Theta membership on our established goals.
This survey is anonymous. Aggregate chapter data will be compiled and shared in reports, but no individual identifying information will be disclosed. To help Theta continue to improve as an organization, it is very important that members respond honestly to all questions. The results of this survey are for educational purposes, and no adverse actions will be taken towards individuals or chapters as a result of answers given within the survey.
The survey will take place during the week of February 19. All chapters will have the opportunity to take it during chapter meeting that week. Questions regarding the survey can be directed to Director of Education & Leadership Melissa Shaub.

We thank Katie for her service and are excited to welcome Brittany to the recruitment committee!
