We are working with SET to confirm a Zoom option for online-only students. Once we finalize our list of active members, we’ll coordinate with SET to ensure remote students have access to training.
🔹 Active Membership Requirements
Per our revised constitution, to be considered an active member, students must:
• Complete at least 5 hours of community service in their local area (on-campus or remote)
• Attend at least one HSA information session
🔹 What’s Next
• Officers: Register and attend one of the Hazing training sessions listed above.
• All members: Watch for an invitation to our upcoming information session.
• After the meeting: We’ll submit the updated list of active members to SET and coordinate additional training options as needed.
• Coming Soon: Please stay tuned for the results of our Fall Season Poll to see what ODU students chose to do this year—we’ll be sharing the highlights today!
