Sadd Contract

What happens if someone signs a contract, but then isn't true to the commitment?

SADD is an inclusive group not an exclusive one. Not only is SADD an organization for youth who choose not to involve themselves in destructive behaviors, but for youth who have found themselves engaged in those behaviors in the past, but use SADD as a way to help them to stay "straight" in the future. In short, it doesn't really matter where you've been in the past; all we care about is where you're at today, and the next day, and the next. In other words, we tend to be a very forgiving group.

At the same time, though, our SADD chapter and the entire SADD organization have an image to uphold in the school and community, and our contract commitment is at the very heart of everything we do. Our chapter will not ignore violations of the membership contract.

Regular chapter members who violate the contract will be invited to sign a new contract and be reinstated as a member in good standing. However, there would be a "three strikes and you're out" limitation, realizing that this behavior cannot go on forever.

Chapter officers who violate the contract will be removed from office and never be eligible to serve as an officer again. They are certainly encouraged to be a regular chapter member again; they just would not hold an officer position.
