A collegiate member is one who has satisfactorily fulfilled the membership requirements and is currently enrolled in any college where a collegiate chapter exists and registered as such with the Board of Directors; Provided, however, that a collegiate member who leaves the college without graduating therefrom may maintain his status as such only upon re-enrollment in any college where a local collegiate chapter exists. A collegiate member who transfers to another college shall be deemed a member of the local collegiate chapter existing and operating in the said educational institution as affiliate collegiate member, unless the said member expresses in writing his intention to remain a member of the chapter through which he was admitted into the organization. Members who are enrolled in post-graduate courses shall be collegiate members, unless they express in writing their intention to be considered as alumni members.
To be eligible, the applicant must:
[1] Be of good moral character and must not have been convicted of any crime involving moral turpitude;
[2] Be enrolled in an educational institution where a duly chartered chapter exists. For purposes of this Code of By-Laws, the terms �educational institution� or �college� shall refer to institutions of higher learning, including universities and trade schools where the preliminary requirement for admission is graduation from high school or secondary education;
[3] Be, or has been, involved in the Scouting movement, or otherwise affirm in his application for membership the commitment to the scouting ideals; and,
[4] Have satisfactorily undergone pledgeship, as defined hereunder. No applicant shall be eligible for membership unless he has first been previously registered in the records of the Commission on Membership as a pledge and has duly paid the dues and assessments incident thereto.
Pledge.
Pledgeship is the process whereby an applicant for membership undergoes a period of orientation, training and education in the ideals, principles, purposes and policies of the organization, and confirmation conducted in accordance with its official rituals. The extent and duration of the pledgeship period shall be determined by the chapter: Provided, however, that such policy shall not be in conflict with the Articles of Incorporation, the Code of By-Laws and other duly adopted policies, rules and regulations of transnational and local application as well as all laws, rules and regulations promulgated by duly constituted authorities pertinent thereto.
Pledge membership is conferred upon enrolled students of an institution of higher learning where a chartered or petitioning collegiate chapter exists.
