The member must reimburse the Fraternity for duplication at the prevailing pay scale of the record searcher and duplication costs. Payment is required before the copies are made.
Use of Member Directory Information
Due to the growing issues surrounding the inappropriate use of member directory information including members using information to sell a product or service, to solicit for a fund raising project or send unsolicited e-mail, the Fraternity would like to maintain the ability for our members to connect with one another while still protecting the privacy of our members.
In order to accomplish this, the following statement will be included with any directory of members names:
This directory is provided for the convenience of the members of Delta Delta Delta Fraternity so that they may establish contact with these Tri Delta members/volunteers for the sole purpose of conducting Tri Delta business.
The addresses in this directory may not be used for any personal or commercial gain including but not limited to: scholarships, philanthropic causes, business ventures, political campaigns, etc.
Members who are found in violation of this policy will be sent a warning by the Executive Board.
