FAQ

Q. How many petitioners are necessary for a charter?
A. There is no definite number required. On the application form there are several spaces for charter members; you should have your charter members sign the application.

Q. Do we need a faculty sponsor?
A. Yes, a faculty sponsor is required. The sponsor should be in the speech, theatre, or some other related department, depending on where the theatre program is administered. Most of the correspondence will be with the sponsor unless the sponsor prefers another arrangment.

Q. Are faculty sponsors allowed to join?
A. The faculty sponsor becomes an honorary member and will receive an honorary membership card. Other members of the faculty, who have contributed much to your productions, may become honorary members. You need to submit a letter with the person's qualifications as an honorary member and an honorary membership card will be sent.

Q. What are the qualifications for membership?A. Qualification for membership is based on records supplied by the theatre staff and/or advisors. Most chapters operate by point guidelines. A suggested point system is outlined in the constitution and can be adjusted to each chapter's needs.

Q. How much are dues?
A. National dues are $30.00 per member and are paid only once. Upon receiving your initiation report and dues, membership certificates, cards, and pledge cards for each new member on the report will be sent. The pledge cards are then kept in your chapter's files.
