HONOR SOCIETY TIPS AND TOOLS

As the end of the first semester approaches, advisers may start reviewing members’ GPA and compliance with chapter service requirements. Please take a moment to review the due process requirements found in Article 10 of the NHS and NJHS constitutions. This procedure is national policy and applies to all Honor Society chapters, and defines due process as a right of membership. Local chapter bylaws should reflect this procedure as well. See the “Discipline and Dismissal” section of the national handbooks for additional guidance and sample letters. Please review these procedures with your faculty council and principal, and email questions or a copy of your bylaws to [email protected] for a review to ensure compliance with national policies. Ensuring that the chapter is following the proper procedures helps to eliminate issues arising from improper dismissals.
