Requirements:

Because so many of the points are awarded through hours of dance, all members must keep a time sheet until they are inducted. This holds the students accountable for their hours and provides a reliable record of hours put toward induction. On each hour's sheet, members must log the date, number of hours danced, which class taken, and get the teacher's signature.  The link is at the bottom, labeled "time sheet", as well as on the home page.

Our chapter also maintains several other requirements:

• Attendance of at least 75% of meetings

• 7 hours of service with the group (like participation in CoDEO, the Drop and Shop, item drives, and showcases)

• Maintenance of hours sheet

• Parent signature on contract (so that all members are held to the same standards)

• At least a 3.0 GPA
