Old business 

• No old business

New business

• Motion to discuss dues

    o     After evaluating dues and discussing with EC, we will be having dues at $60 this semester

    o     This is because we’re hosting sectionals and the birthday celebration so we will be having to pay more all around, so it wouldn’t be more

    o     Part of the reason it’s going up slowly is renting fees, having to pay more money for sectionals than we’d hope

    o     Motion for amount of $60 passes

    o     DUES ARE DUE MARCH 18th!!!

• One of the new pledges came to Priyanka about Random Acts of Health

    o     Some members will be coming to pledge and chapter meetings to talk to us about volunteering
