It is time to update the chapter roster for fall 2006 grades. This process is very important for Florida Greek Standards and must be done on or before Wednesday, December 6, 2006.

1. Log into the database at www.union.ufl.edu/involvement using your Gatorlink username and password.

2. All new members for fall 2006 should be entered and coded as NEW MEMBERS. This will ensure we run their grades as new members for this semester. You can change them to active members after December 6. If anyone is listed as a new member that actually initiated in a PREVIOUS semester, change him/her to active. If anyone is listed as a new member who dropped or was removed from the class, change him/her to terminated or disaffiliated.
***NPHC and MGC presidents - if you chapter had a line this fall, all members of that line should be put in as NEW MEMBERS. You can change them to active members after December 6 as well.

3. All active members for fall 2006 should be entered and coded as ACTIVE MEMBERS. If someone will graduate this fall, leave him/her as ACTIVE for now or the grades for that person will not be counted. You can change him/her to alumnus in January. If anyone is listed as an active member who dropped or was removed from the chapter, change him/her to terminated or inactive.

4. For chapters with houses, please make sure everyone living in the house is coded as an IN HOUSE member. Everyone else should be coded as OUT OF HOUSE.

5. Remember, anyone listed as NEW OR ACTIVE MEMBERS must be an enrolled student at UF for this semester. If someone is not taking classes, they cannot be a NEW OR ACTIVE MEMBER.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact Chris Bullins at 846-3171 or bullins@ufl.edu.

The Office of Sorority & Fraternity Affairs is currently preparing for Greek Advance, the University of Florida's annual leadership retreat for presidents and council exec board members. Greek Advance will take place January 5 and 6 at Camp Kulaqua in High Springs, FL. All chapter presidents and council executive board members are required to attend.

Registration is $100 and is due no later than Wednesday, December 6, 2006 (last day of classes). For chapters that are requesting financial assistance, Fee Waiver applications are due by Friday, December 1, 2006. Should you have additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Lisa Kendall in the Office of Sorority & Fraternity Affairs at ljk@ufl.edu.

Please remember that officer changes must be updated on the involvement website. If a President, Treasurer and/or faculty advisor has changed, a change of officer form must be turned in to the Center for Student Involvement by the organization President. Once the form is turned in, the President will be able to update officers online.
