2021 Board of Directors Elections - Vote
It’s our honor to announce that we are accepting votes for the Board of Directors of Theta Chi of Penn State, Inc.
The Board serves the alumni brotherhood and undergraduates in a variety of ways. We coordinate alumni communications, plan annual events and reunions, manage the chapter property, provide short-term and long-term financial planning, and help to advise and support the active chapter. Engaged alumni volunteers are essential to a thriving fraternity.
As we continue rebuilding our beloved chapter, it is very important that we take time to foster our personal connections within our brotherhood, and extend a helping hand where possible to ensure the continued success and livelihood of not only our alumni, but our future undergraduate members as well. Through strong and responsive leadership, we can build and maintain an active and healthy chapter that inspires and sustains true friendships.
Per our bylaws, there are three (3) positions being elected. Please select three of the four candidates nominated. Short descriptions of each candidate are shown on the voting webpage (and below). The three candidates with the highest vote totals will be elected to the Board. After the election concludes, the new Board (six members) will meet to determine its officers.
