How do I get hours?

You earn one hour for every meeting you attend. You also earn hours by volunteering for service events, helping with fundraisers, and doing committee work. Each event assigns hours based on the amount of time you spend. All social events are worth one hour no matter how long you stay.

What's the deadline?

Hours need to be in by the last meeting of the semester.

How many hours do I need?

To stay an active member of ALD/PES, you need to earn 12 hours every semester. New members (just joined this semster) only need to have 9 hours to be active.

I already do lots of service for my sorority/fraternity/church. Do those hours count?

ALD/PES only accepts hours for service based on work you have done with ALD/PES, and are therefore unable to accept service from any other organization.

My hours aren't correct!

Please be patient with hours being updated, there is generally at least a week turn around between when events occur and when hours are updated.

My name isn't even on the list!

If your name is not on the list there are several possible reasons: 1. you have not participated in any event this semester, 2. you did not indicate whether you are an old or new member at the event, 3. we cannot read your hand writing. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the secretaries.

Why should I stay active?

We work on the reward system where if you are an active member you're allowed to attend the end of the semester banquet for free. Also, having an active status helps in officer and scholarship selection.
