Below are requirements for current FHS NHS members. These requirements are set at the national level. Failure to adhere to these requirements may result in disciplinary action.
* Dues for all members are $20. We are a self-funded organization and dues are used to pay for things like stoles, certificates, induction, and x2Vol (our online service hour tracking program).
* Members are required to attend ALL meetings. We realize it is difficult to find a meeting time that works for everyone, so we have gone to flipped meetings. Meeting minutes are posted on the website, and members can review the minutes at a time that is convenient for them. After reviewing the minutes, members will fill out a Google form stating they have viewed the minutes. There will be in-person meetings at the beginning of each semester, and several dates and times will be offered. Officers may call special meetings as needed.
* Members need 10 hours of community service per semester. Documentation is required for all service hours. Each nine week period has at least 8 weeks, so this gives ample time to complete the hours. We also use an online tracking system, x2Vol, which eliminates the hassle of paper documentation.
* Members are required to participate in the chapter service project each semester. We try to keep these projects small and doable. Examples include bringing canned goods, toys, clothes, etc. These do not require a lot of additional time. If you have an idea for a chapter service project, please let one of the officers know.
* Members need to maintain a GPA of 5.00 Cumulative GPA. The GPA requirement to apply for membership is 5.00 Cumulative weighted GPA on the 5 point scale. Students who fall below this will be given one semester to improve. The advisors will check GPA after each semester.
