LCA 101: Understanding the High Tau and High Gamma Positions

LCA 101: High Gamma and High Tau

SHARE TO

In this new series, we are working to break down some of the processes of each officer position so that your chapter/colony is set up for success no matter where you are. Kicking things off, let’s take a closer look at the High Tau and High Gamma positions and how you can better manage the financial health and membership roster of your chapter/colony.

Key Takeaways

  • As the High Gamma of your chapter/colony, you are tasked with managing your chapter/colony’s membership roster within OmegaFi. The best reference to membership status questions is the Constitution and Statutory Code in Article 4. Two deadlines to keep in mind are March & October 15. Any member on your OmegaFi roster on these days will be included in your chapter/colony’s bill from the Office of Administration.
  • As the High Tau of your chapter/colony, you will utilize OmegaFi as a billing tool & payment platform. OmegaFi allows chapters/colonies to safely assign charges, collect funds and pay bills. Remember that your billing groups, charges, cycles, and bill pay funds are customizable to fit your chapter/colony’s needs!
