Just Communicating Overview Part A

Just Communicating Com·mu·ni·ca’tion, n. Intercourse by words, letters, or messages; interchange of thoughts or opinions, by conference or other means.

Just Communicating The Staff at the International HQ communicates with: ~40 brothers a day by phone ~300 chapters a week by correspondence

Just Communicating 60% of the activities of the staff deals with some form of communication. –If they can’t understand what your saying, you won’t understand what they’re doing. –Therefore, a clear distinct bridge of communication needs to be established between the brother/chapter and the HQ.

Just Communicating Workshop Objectives To explain how to maintain effective communication between the membership and the HQ staff. To provide insight on eliminating problems that occure when submitting monites to HQ.

Just Communicating Question: –Why is accurate communication important? Answer: –It assures the correct processing of monies –Is assures the timely delivery of materials –It clears any mis-information that may persist –Saves time and resources

Just Communicating PBS Forms 1-8 PBS-1 Internal Processing Form –Identifies each brother for which money is being submitted –Itemizes all the fees being submitted with the indicated amounts PBS-2 Application Form –Contains all the personal information pertinent to the prospective individual. –Provides proof of approval by the Regional Director.

Just Communicating PBS Forms 1-8 PBS-3 Student Approval Form –Presents the name(s) of all each individual to the University and the Regional Director. –Acknowledges the approval of each individual by the University –Verifies the selection of each individual by the collegiate chapter. –Contains the approval by the Regional Director PBS-4 Graduate Approval Form –Same as the PBS-3, except for Alumni Chapters –Does not contain documentation for university approval ** Important for the chapter and the HQ to know that the individual was approved by the Regional Director.

Just Communicating PBS Forms 1-8 PBS-5 Academic Verification Form –Acknowledges permission for the University to release GPA information to the Fraternity. –Establishes a written agreement between the individual and the chapter. PBS-6 Candidate Evaluation Form –Contains information relative to the individual’s interview with the chapter. –Gives written consent to the committee’s decision to reject or accept.

PBS-8 Transfer/Reinstatement Form –Explains from which chapter a brother is coming from and associating with. –Informs the chapter and the HQ that a brother may be reinstating his membership status.

Just Communicating Mis-Communication Part B

Just Communicating Rule #1 DO NOT be intimidated by any of the forms!!! Rule #2 It’s important to dubble check the amount of money submitted making sure that it corresponds with the number of brothers listed on the form. Rule #3 For every name listed to receive credit there should be an associated dollar figure.

Just Communicating Rule #4 Do not mix the payments for new membership fees with the payment for continuing or reinstating members. **This will result in all paperwork being returned and all monies being deposited

Just Communicating Rule #5 It’s always important to identify each brother with their given membership number to distinguish who’s who. Rule #6 If different dollar amounts are being submitted, make sure it is listed so the proper individual will get the credit paid for. ** This is a major delay in processing. When the dollar amount submitted don’t add up, all processing on that order will stop.

Just Communicating Rule #7 Read, Read, Read every part of the form that you fill out. Don’t get lazy when it comes to filling out the forms. Type the full chapter name, indicated the right codes, and fill in the correct dollar amounts

Just Communicating Other errors that delay processing Illegible handwriting No reinstatement fee for reactivating brothers Mixing payments to the Federal Credit Union with membership fees and assessments No address listed Incomplete or abbreviated addresses listed

Just Communicating Summary Double check all boxes, columns, and spaces to ensure that everything is complete. Type all information on t he forms – don’t assume everyone can read your handwriting. Separate paperwork and monies from new membership fees and continuing members. Double check all dollar amounts. Check – Double Check – Triple Check EVERYTHING on all forms being submitted. Let someone else read the forms and see if they understand what is trying to be communicated.
