Grand High Zeta members are elected for four-year terms. Four members were elected on August 6, 2016, so those seats will become vacant on August 6, 2020. While the Grand High Zeta has the duty under Article 2, Section 4(b)(7) of the Constitution to fill vacancies on the board, the board has determined that the best way to remain true to the intent of our laws will be to allow our chapters to vote on the candidates based on recommendations from the Nominating Committee. This vote will be taken by Action by Referendum under Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution.
The Grand High Zeta has therefore asked the Nominating Committee to continue its work and to submit a recommended slate of four nominees by June 30, 2020. The Action by Referendum will then be sent to the chapters, the Grand High Zeta, and the Student Advisory Committee in early July with a 30-day deadline for voting. Approval will require a majority of votes cast.
