[Off-topic] Apex:
First off, you've been told about making statements such as this once before. We (the Members and Governing Body) don't wish to have to groom anyone back into understanding or appeasement when they simply -and clearly- have not read the OP, or the Fraternity's Constitution. I won't acquiesce to such situations simply because of a refusal or reluctance to knowing what we are, and how things work. I won't tolerate the "tl;dr" propensities of some. If you want to become a Member here, understand what it is you are joining, and the simple operating procedures we have adopted to run this group. This is all I will say about this, going forward. If you wish to pledge, you may. After your two week pledge period, you may become a Member. Once you are a Member, you may participate in all of the fraternity's activities.

Further, in the Constitution (post #3, by QuantumFoam), it reads:

Section 3. Election of Active Chapter Officers

(a) Effective December 1st, 2012, Officers of each active chapter shall be elected annually in January for one 3 month term, except when a chapter is granted permission by the Governing Body to hold elections on an alternative schedule for good cause shown. The term of office of any officer shall expire at the installation of his successor, unless otherwise approved by the Governing Body. No person shall hold two of the offices listed in the first sentence of Section 2 of this Article V when another person holds none, except by the unanimous vote of the chapter.

(b) All officers enumerated in the first sentence of Section 2 of this Article V shall be elected by vote of the chapter. The election of each such officer shall be by two-thirds majority vote; the nominee receiving the majority of all votes cast being declared elected. In case no person receives such a majority, the president shall immediately state that there has been no election and announce the names of the two candidates with the greatest number of votes, but shall give no other information regarding the ballot. The members shall then vote upon these two names, and a majority shall elect. In case this shall result in no election, the president shall again announce no election, but no other information in regard to the ballot. The election of such officer shall be then postponed to the next regular meeting when the above rules shall again govern. On determination of a successful ballot, the president shall announce the name of the member so elected, but shall give no other information in regard to the ballot. No record of the ballot shall be kept except the name of the member elected.

So, as you can see, the voting is reserved for Members and Governing Body. This is also why non-Members are not permitted to vote -because they are not of the chapter. I hope this clears things up...

Thank you, QF. You're the best right hand man, evah! :cool:

By the week's end I will post the results of the elections. This will allow everyone time to cast their votes. ;)

Seems you have the idea! Again, when you guys vote, you can chose as many people to vote for as you wish. In fact, I urge you to vote for each Officer Position, even if it is an unopposed position. :good:

Also, good morning/afternoon/evening all. :p
