chapter is subsequently responsible for finding a legal alternate to
replace the participant. The Logistics Committee will have a copy of
each roster from every sorority and fraternity at each and every event
to ensure verification.
You must
check in 15 minutes before the
start of an except for Swimming and Crop Walk (30 minutes before).
