48
Q

What is duty of the Grand Master?

A

The Grand Master faces a variety of responsibilities and challenges, which can roughly be broken down into two categories: leadership and administration. He is the Chief Executive Officer of his chapter. The GM represents the chapter in all aspects, both internally and externally; he is usually regarded as the most informed and responsible member of the chapter. With this office comes the responsibility of making sure chapter members are aware of all Kappa Sigma and university policies and rules, as well as all applicable federal, state, and local laws. It is ultimately his responsibility to see that all goes well in the chapter.

49
Q

What is the duty of the Grand Procurator?

A

The Grand Procurator acts as the chapter disciplinarian. As second in the chain of command, the Grand Procurator must look to the future. All the duties of this Officer require an understanding of where the chapter is with respect to Fraternity standards, and where the chapter needs to be one to two years from now. Being the overseer of scholarship, Code of Conduct, Chapter By-Laws, discipline, and house maintenance, the Grand Procurator must strive to hone his leadership skills. Because he works with so many different people, communication and organization are essential if he is to be effective during his term of office.

50
Q

What is the duty of the Grand Master of Ceremonies?

A

The Grand Master of Ceremonies is responsible for all of the Ritual and secret work of the chapter. In addition, he is responsible for the proper Ritual education of the Brothers and for the preparation of pledges before initiation. The success of the chapter is determined by the recruitment and education of new members. The GMC is responsible for these facets of chapter operations. While recruiting new members is crucial to the success of the chapter, initiating these men becomes the next priority. Building better brothers does not occur without a strong program designed around the four cornerstones: Fellowship, Leadership, Scholarship and Service. The effectiveness of the Grand Master of Ceremonies will usually determine whether or not the ritual will be used properly and effectively in a chapter. The ritual binds together all members of Kappa Sigma and allows for the common bond of all brothers. Thus his duties are important, not only for his chapter, but to the Fraternity in general.

51
Q

What is the duty of the Grand Scribe?

A

The Grand Scribe is the backbone of the Executive Committee and of the chapter. He is responsible for all paperwork, reporting of new pledges and initiates, recording minutes during chapter meetings, correspondence and annual alumni newsletters. Organization is a vital skill required in this position. The Grand Scribe is also charged with maintaining copies of the constitution, by-laws and rules of Kappa Sigma.

52
Q

What is the duty of the Grand Treasurer?

A

The Grand Treasurer focuses on proper regulation and allocation of chapter finances is vested in the responsibility of the Grand Treasurer. The financial liability of the chapter depends on the Grand Treasurer’s performance; specifically, the organization of his reports and accounts and his follow-up in collecting from the brothers and paying the vendors. The Grand Treasurer’s office can be broken down into four steps: The proper budgeting of funds, collection of those Funds, disbursement of funds and recording each transaction.
