Breaking News ...
The rules banning "Major Degrees" have been relaxed:
1. 1st/2nd/3rd degree "majors" will be permitted for the remainder of this fraternal year, but this will be reevaluated in June 2012.
2. To qualify for Star Council, councils must "host or participate in" at least 4 1st degrees a year. They do not have to have their own team, but must host the degree, or bring candidates to one somewhere else.
3. There is no charge for the 3rd degree staff ... Supreme pay their expenses, but the host council is reponsible for providing the Medallions.
These changes may cause last-minute modifications to the schedule, so please check with the host DD before bringing candidates.
