The following describes the nature of the Fraternity's relationship between it, the Members, the Chapters, their alumni groups and the headquarters.
1. Membership in ZBT is granted to individuals who, by acceptance of an invitation to join the Fraternity agree to be bound by the Fraternity's rules, regulations, and prohibitions concerning their conduct as individual undergraduate members of a Chapter of the Fraternity at a specific university or college.
2. The Fraternity has no power to enforce its rules, regulations, and prohibitions other than by suasion, or when it becomes aware of infractions, by suspension or revocation of membership.
3. From time to time the Fraternity grants a Charter that permits individual ZBT members to operate as a Chapter group entity. Chapter status permits the undergraduate ZBT members at a college or university to group together in their non-academic activities and to extend bid invitations for membership to other students at their college or university.
4. The Fraternity reserves the right to revoke Chapter status when it becomes apparent to the Fraternity that for whatever reason there are insufficient remaining numbers of eligible ZBT members in good standing to meet the requirements for Chapter status. Such revocation takes the form of a withdrawal of the Charter grant.
5. No individual or Chapter group within ZBT has any implied authority to act as an agent for ZBT. |
