Secretary:
The Secretary position fits a Prytanean who thrives on a flexible
schedule and who can manage independent work. Her duties include
maintaining records of all Prytaneans: from the roster to
membership status each quarter to committee participation,
and among other details. Thus, she gets to know all of the
members’ names really well, and often, she has personal
contact with individual Prytaneans. She also maintains the
Prytanean list serve, which helps to keep all Prytanean members
connected and updated on our current events. Through the list
serve, she sends out lots of information and, especially,
the minutes to every general meeting (this is in case some
members cannot make it the particular meeting). She works
closely with the other officers on membership and administrative
issues. But most importantly, being a Prytanean Secretary
allows her to be apart of the board of one of the most successful
organizations on campus! Most of the duties that the secretary
performs are done independently, using Microsoft Word and
Excel. The bulk of the work comes at the beginning and end
of every quarter, so time management and organization are
essential! This position is very flexible, which allows the
secretary to help out her fellow officers when they are planning
big events. For more info, contact prytsecretary@gmail.com.

Membership
Chair:
The defining characteristic of Membership Chair is that you're
the first one in contact with all the applicants. You interact
with them personally during the entire application process.
We now have some amazing women as part of the society and,
as Membership Chair, you really have a lot to do with that
success. Her main duties are to update the application, send
emails to potential applicants, plan the publicity of the
membership drive with the Publicity Chair, plan the Applicant
Refreshment Meeting, organize the week of interviews, and
plan the Initiation Ceremony (all using suggestions from the
previous membership drive questionnaire). It sounds like a
lot, yes, and the current Membership Chair would not lie...
it is tough work. But if you can manage your time (95% of
your work is during fall quarter) and have good organizational
skills, you've got what it takes! When fall quarter is over,
the main duty during winter is the membership drive questionnaires.
In spring, the responsibilities are to order the honor cords
for the graduating seniors and to plan Senior Farewell with
the Social Vice President. For more info, contact prytmembership@gmail.com.
