In speaking with a school a few weeks ago, I found that their selection process was a bit off. Instead of using a Faculty Council for selection, the Faculty Council (FC) gave recommendations based on student forms, then the NHS Adviser selected the students that would be inducted. For schools that hold chapters with NHS/NJHS, this process is incorrect and the appropriate way to select members is spelled out in the National Constitution.

In Article IX, Section 3, it states that the "selection of each member to the chapter shall be by a majority vote of the Faculty Council." How do you get to that point though? Which students are "voted on"?

YES! Both groups can be members. MASC and MAHS do not put requirements on their members for procedures and policies to follow. We ask only that our members provide leadership experiences for students, and that is what we are here to help with. Each school is so incredibly unique it would be impossible to ask them all to conform to strict guidelines. We provide the same leadership training for student councils that we do for honor societies. Whether you vote, select, nominate or volunteer, if you're involved in leadership you can be part of MASC/MAHS.
