What does the chapter need to do in order to be recognized as active by the national office?
To be recognized as an active, affiliated SEP student chapter, your chapter must first have completed the affiliation process and received a chapter charter. After receiving a charter, the group must maintain membership of at least 5 members as of September 30th each year. In addition, a Student Chapter Information Form must be submitted each year by October 31st to notify the national office of chapter contact information and current officers. Participation in the annual Merit Award competition is strongly encouraged, though not required to maintain your charter. If your chapter has been inactive for an extended period, it may be necessary to complete the affiliation process again to re-charter the chapter. Q: Can we use the SEP logo? A: Yes. As an affiliated chapter, you are entitled to use the SEP logo for chapter newsletters, correspondence, posters, T-shirts, etc. However with this privilege comes the responsibility to use the logo correctly.
