Organizational Files, 1983/2009
- Scope and content:
-
Series 1: Organizational Files, 1983-2009, consists primarily of documentation of events, members, and general administrative files used by the Eta Omicron chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi. The majority of these files are institutional guidelines and activity reports to and from the national chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi. Such guiding files include the organizational constitutions, as well as event-specific handbooks.
Interesting material within the series include the multiple folders of advising material provided to the Eta Omicron chapter throughout its history. The advising material consists primarily of correspondence between the national chapter and Eta Omicron, as well as between Eta Omicrons and the chapters being advised. This series also includes activity reports and copies of pledge information from advisee chapters. There are also multiple sources of material on providing guidelines for advising chapters and beginning their path to full membership. The advising files include those for the Liberty University colony, Norfolk State chapter, and Virginia State University chapter.
Other interesting material includes the member lists, family trees, and record roll books. These materials provide several instances of well-recorded names of members and their corresponding pledge families. The roll books also provide a look into the level of involvement certain members took in the organization, as all meetings were recorded and logged between 1990-2000 and 2006-2007.
