WSU Alpha Eta Chapter Bylaws
The Wichita State University College of Health Professions Chapter of Alpha Eta operates under the National Alpha Eta Bylaws and its own chapter bylaws, which together provide the framework for the chapter’s purpose, leadership, membership, and activities. Consistent with the national organization, the WSU chapter exists to recognize and promote scholarship, leadership, and meaningful contributions to the allied health professions while also supporting the vision, mission, and guiding principles of the WSU College of Health Professions.
At WSU, the chapter is led by an Executive Committee made which include a President and a Secretary/Treasurer. The President oversees chapter leadership and major activities, including meetings, the annual induction ceremony, and student award coordination. The Secretary/Treasurer is responsible for chapter records, correspondence, membership documentation, and chapter funds, and assumes presidential duties when needed. At WSU, one representative from each allied health academic unit within the College of Health Professions coordinate with the Executive Committee to organize candidates and awards for each graduating class.
