To the Southeast District of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma,
The Eighth Note is a resource publication, provided for the SED and the nation, which both monitors and showcases the outstanding work done by our Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma chapters. The joint SED Councils are now accepting bids for the 2013-2014 Joint Publication- the Eighth Note. We encourage you to work jointly with the Kappa Kappa Psi or Tau Beta Sigma chapters at your school or in your surrounding area.
This year, the Joint Councils have formulated more modern guidelines for the publication and production of the Eighth Note; you can find the guidelines listed below. Also, please see the attachment for the bid requirements.
Guidelines for the 2013-2014 Eighth Note:
1. There will be only one printed edition of the Eighth Note this year, specifics of that can be found below. However, due to this, the main Eighth Note responsibilities will now be electronic, via the website (currently at www.tbssedpublications.com a site hosted through WordPress). Hosting the Eighth Note online will require the chapter(s) to:
· Update the website with host chapter and contact information
· Encourage chapters in the SED to contribute articles year-round discussing (an) inspiring or complex experience(s) at their school or chapter
· Host and advertise contests throughout the year to further encourage article submissions and photo submissions for the website
· Begin a “from the editor” column reporting news and activities by the host chapter(s), giving readers an inside look at both the Eighth Note creation and other events held by the host chapter(s)
· At the start of each month, post quotes or selections from “featured articles” to capture reader’s attention and bring people to the Eighth Note website
· Update the website bi-weekly with article and photo submissions
2. Compile one “Year in Review” Edition of the Eighth Note. This edition must be printed for dispersing at the 2014 SED Convention on March 21-23, 2014 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA. This edition must include:
· A letter from a National Officer from both KKPsi and TBSigma
· A letter from both the KKPsi and TBSigma SED Presidents
· A selection of the “best” articles from the year, chosen by the host chapter and approved by the district councils
· A letter from the Editor (the host chapter(s))
Please electronically submit bids to both Kyle Sullivan (sedpresident@kkpsi.org) and Belinda Baker (sedpres@tbsigma.org) by September 20, 2013.
MLITB!
