Wiccan Pagan Student Association
The Wiccan Pagan Student Association is dedicated to helping pagans find others of like mind in the Greensboro community, creating a forum for the sharing of ideas and beliefs that offer support to pagans on campus and in the community, and promoting connections with area organizations.
Membership in this organization is open to anyone, whether they are community members or students of UNCG. Prospective members are encouraged to have an open mind and be willing to work with and to learn from others in the organization. Student members must be in good standing with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro .
Membership is open. However head officers reserve the right to expel members and guests for public disturbances, unruly or inappropriate conduct.
Once an individual has attended two (2) consecutive meetings of the Wiccan Pagan Student Association at any point they are considered a member. However to maintain member status each member must do one presentation to the organization. The President must approve the subject prior to the presentation.
If a member misses more than four meetings in a row without prior notification, their membership is “pending”. The council will then meet with that member and determine whether or not that member has to repeat the initial membership requirement.
The President is voted into office by the entire general body and is required to be a student in good standing with the University (2.5 GPA or higher.)
The Vice President is voted in after the President in the same manner with the same requirements.
These offices will be voted in after the Vice President in the above order. The Treasurer is required to be a student due to the handling of organizational funds. The remaining offices do not need to be students. If they are students the same requirements apply.
If membership exceeds 15 members a council will be appointed through nomination and majority vote. The Council will function as a means of resolving internal conflicts. The council will consist of three (3) student and three (3) non-student members. The members will be nominated and voted on by the remaining general body. The council, as a whole, is considered part of the executive board.
The Head Officers and the Council will work together at all times. All decisions will be made and/or approved by both groups. This relationship creates the Executive Board.
To remove a council member the member can petition the President and/or Vice President in written form. This petition will be discussed between the two officers and addressed at the following meeting. In the event that a council is present, the remaining council members will preside and under the President and Vice President, decide the course of action.
