How
can we use the DMD logo? |
°Chapter
use - The DMD Key logo may be used for Chapter matters, such as
signage and identification. In all cases the ® Registered
Mark should be displayed below the Key.
°If
the chapter chooses to create chapter apparel items such as shirts
or caps, the words "Delta Mu Delta" with or without "Honor Society"
may be used as well as the Greek letters for DMD.
°Personal
use - the DMD Key logo may not be used by individuals for personal
purposes, such as on business cards or stationery. It is
perfectly OK to state "member of Delta Mu Delta Honor Society"
or something similar.
°Central
Office can provide fairly large files to provide high-resolution
display and allow for cutting, depending upon your intended usage.
They are available in both black & white as well as colored
versions. For formal printing purposes, we can provide the
exact PMS to specify to the printer.

| How
can we order supplies? |
°Certain
chapter supplies are supplied at no charge and come free with
ground shipping. See the Chapter Supply Order Form for a list of
those.
°Other
chapter items are available at a subsidized price. They are
intended to enhance the meaning of the induction ceremony and ground shipping is still provided at no charge.
°Finally,
even more items are available on the eStore. Although still
at reasonable prices, shipping charges will be added.
°If
either the regular or special chapter supplies are needed overnight
or second day, then the chapter will be charged for the shipping.
Use the Chapter Supply Order
Form.

| What
should we use to invite students to membership?
|
°The
construction of an invitation to join DMD varies greatly from
campus to campus. For some chapters at smaller schools,
the invitation is personally conveyed with some instructions and
literature being handed to the potential inductee.
°At
larger schools, particularly those with a substantial commuter
population, the invitation is by direct mail or email.
°Central
Office offers some free materials to assist - but the chapter
still needs to provide some style of a cover letter from the Faculty
Adviser, Dean or President of the school, that contains details
such as when and where the induction will be held, how much it
will cost, to whom payment should be sent, etc.
°Use
the Chapter Supply Order Form
to order either the complete "Invitation Kit" or just the items
that you plan to use: (a) "Dear Student" letter from the national
president, (b) DMD Information Card, (c) brochure, A
Matter of Honor from the Association of College Honor Societies, and (d) the Benefits Flyer (also available on the Forms page).

What
are the criteria for membership? |
°This
is mainly a matter for the Faculty Adviser and the Registrar,
but it is necessary that the chapter officers be able to describe
it to a students. The topic is sufficiently complex that
we've created a separate page devoted to just this subject.
Refer to Criteria.
|
| How
can we get a new Faculty Adviser? |
°Sometimes
the students and/or officers wonder what to do when they discover
that their Faculty Adviser left the campus over the summer, not
to return, or suddenly goes on a medical leave. This is
an excellent reason why it's suggested that every chapter have
a co-adviser.
°Although
the Faculty Adviser is technically elected to that position by
the chapter's Board of Active Members (refer to your chapter and/or
national bylaws) this cannot happen without the participation
and support of the school's administration. Go directly
to the Dean and explain the situation and your needs. Enlist
the support of the Chair of the business department, as well.
°The
Faculty Adviser is the official representative of your chapter
to the National Chapter, has the right to vote on national questions
and is the main conduit of communications between this office
and your campus. The chapter cannot function without an effective Faculty
Adviser.
°As
soon as a volunteer has been found, have that person get into
immediate touch with Central Office via the button at the top
of this page, introduce themself and provide contact information.
We'll take it from there.

| How
can we get help running the chapter - The Chapter Guide
|
°A
chapter can have two different "personalities" - (1) An Activities
Chapter, or (2) A Recognition Chapter.
°Activities
Chapter - this is somewhat difficult to describe since it varies
greatly from campus to campus and even from year to year as the
membership changes. The current officers, faculty adviser(s),
and board of active members define the choices of what/how chapter
will become involved and what campus/community/social efforts they will support.
°Recognition
or Honors Chapter - this one is easier to define and the Chapter
Guide was written to that end. Actually, an Activities Chapter
does everything in the Guide and more!

Guide.
