TREASURER

As fiscal officer of the chapter, the Treasurer has charge of its funds.

The treasurer is required by the Constitution to collect all dues. This is interpreted to mean all fees for induction, local dues if charged, any assessments that may be levied for any purpose, and for any enterprises, such as dinners, mixers, electrical shows or other activities that are conducted by the chapter.

The Treasurer shall pay out funds for any purpose only on the order of the chapter. Checks should be cosigned by the President or Faculty Advisor. This is very important, as otherwise it is impossible to keep a satisfactory check on the chapter's finances. No variation from this procedure should be permitted.

In order that there may be no difficulty in presenting proper reports of the activities, the Treasurer should keep records in which are entered all financial transactions, and a balance should be kept for the inspection of the chapter at any meeting or when it is requested by the president. The Treasurer should see to it that all college requirements governing the handling of funds by student organizations are complied with, particularly those regarding the method of making payments, keeping records and having audits made.

He/she should also handle any other duties of any sort that are delegated to him/her by the President.
