Collaborating with fraternity leadership and general members, I outlined a new bylaw to govern the office of treasurer and increase transparency. The bylaw was approved by the alumni and passed by general members of the fraternity. Its implementation ensured the treasurer gave detailed weekly reports to all members during meetings, shared access to all financial accounts with the president, and arranged for weekly meetings between the treasurer and a private accountant hired by the alumni.I addressed other shortcomings with the bylaws by convening committee meetings with concerned members to identify major issues article by article. I submitted a revamped version to general membership for an approval vote before the end of the semester.I also kept track of standards, or minimal requirements members needed to meet each semester to remain in good standing with the fraternity. I kept members informed if they were in danger of failing standards weeks prior to the end of the semester in order to give them a chance to improve. This helped increase awareness and reduce the number of failing members.
