Sociology Club Constitution
Statement of Purpose:
The purpose of the Sociology Club is to unite those with a common interest in sociology and to facilitate the organization of community involvement, social interaction, and information about the opportunities in the field of sociology.
Membership:
The Sociology Club is open to any Trinity University student interested in sociology. Membership is not limited to those with a major or minor in sociology.
Group Organization:
A committee of five "co-presidents" will lead the group on a volunteer basis per year. If there should be more than five volunteers then elections will be held to determine the five co-presidents. If a co-president is not fulfilling their responsibility throughout the semester, or should need to relinquish his or her position then the club may appoint or elect another co-president.
The co-presidents for the following year shall be elected in the spring, and they shall be responsible for organizing the first meeting in the fall.
