Respect & personal growthThe culture we protect

Represent BE with integrity

Members are expected to act in a way that reflects positively on themselves, Becoming Excellence, and Troy University.

Respect every member

Treat others with dignity. Harassment, bullying, discrimination, intimidation, and repeated disruptive behavior are not accepted.

Support personal growth

BE is a place for improvement. Members should be willing to learn, accept constructive feedback, and work toward better choices.

Protect member privacy

Do not share private messages, personal information, or sensitive organization matters without permission.

Follow university policies

Members must follow Troy University rules and any policies that apply to student organizations and campus activities.

Handle disagreements maturely

Address concerns calmly and privately with the appropriate leader. Public arguments, online drama, retaliation, and disrespect are unacceptable.

Participation & serviceHow we show up

Participate consistently

Attend meetings, programs, and service events when reasonably able. If you cannot attend, communicate as early as possible.

Complete community service

Complete at least 5 verified community-service hours each semester through BE or another approved activity.

Use official communication channels

Check the BE member portal and your email for announcements, reminders, and schedule changes.

Contribute to the organization

Be prepared to help with events, service projects, recruitment, and other reasonable member responsibilities.

Members should respond to important BE messages and notify leadership when they cannot meet a commitment. Repeated absences or missed responsibilities without communication may lead to an accountability conversation.

Dues & payment supportPaid after membership approval

First-semester membership dues are $25. Returning-member dues are $20 each semester. Dues are paid only after approval.

Financial hardship should never be embarrassing. Contact the Treasurer privately through BE leadership before the deadline to discuss a payment arrangement or hardship waiver.

Accountability & agreementA fair process with room to improve
  1. Coaching conversation. Leadership discusses the concern, listens to the member, and agrees on a clear next step.
  2. Written improvement plan. If the issue continues, expectations and a review date are documented.
  3. Membership review. Continued or serious misconduct may lead to suspension or removal.

Serious conduct may move directly to a membership review. The member will receive a written explanation and an opportunity to respond before a final decision.

Member acknowledgment

By submitting a membership application, I confirm that I have read and understand these expectations. I agree to represent Becoming Excellence with integrity, respect other members, complete the service requirement, communicate responsibly, and accept fair accountability when necessary.
