at least 3 weeks before your spring induction ceremony. Doing so will enable your chapter to receive its new member certificates, cards, and lapel pins in time for new member inductions and avoid paying rush fees. Guidelines for identifying and inducting new members are listed here:

Brain Awareness Week (
BAW) from
March 12-17, 2007. BAW was developed to "advance public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research." Chapters might consider developing programs for their campus or visiting local schools to present about brain-related psychological research. Read more about BAW here:
