Chapter Challenge Point Designation

Chapter Challenge
Chapter Challenge was designed to reward chapters that demonstrate leadership and initiative. For each of the positive actions listed below the chapter will receive a designated amount of points. However, some actions, such as registering late for a state convention, will result in the deduction of points. The winning chapter of the chapter challenge will be announced during Spring State. The entire chapter will receive a prize with one, deserving member receiving the grand prize. Note: Chapter Challenge is different from Chapter of the Year.
Section 1: Any complaints, requests, or inquiries about point designation must be e-mailed to the Vice Mayor and forwarded to the Secretary of the COCP.
Section 2: After winning Chapter Challenge, the winning chapter must provide the name of one, deserving, underclassmen member by May 1st to receive an additional grand prize.
