The Albino Squirrel Preservation Society
International Constitution
ARTICLE 1. General Club Overview
The Albino Squirrel Preservation Society (ASPS) is an
international network of college-level chapters
dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of
albino squirrels worldwide. The club was formed in
April of 2001 at the University of Texas.
ARTICLE 2. ASPS Creed
"I pledge to uphold the objects of the Albino Squirrel
Preservation Society, to foster compassion and
goodwill towards albino squirrels, and to dedicate
myself to the protection of all squirrels, especially
those that are albino."
ARTICLE 3. Organizational Structure
Each chapter must be officially registered with a
college or university before being considered as part
of the ASPS family. Within each club, there is to be
a President and officers to assist the President. The
number of officers is to be determined by the
President, as are the individual officer titles. The
ASPS President may remain in office until his/her
graduation, upon which he/she will choose a worthy
successor. Overseeing all ASPS chapters will be the
ASPS International Board led by the International
President.
ARTICLE 4. Membership Requirements
Members must consist of students, teachers, and/or
staff members of the college to which the chapter is
registered (though others may be given "honorary
member" status by the President.) Prospective members
must complete an official application before joining
the club. This application is to be administered by
the President (often via e-mail) and should request
basic information such as: name, major, e-mail
address, and why the applicant wishes to join the
club. The President may also include a voluntary
request for website quotes from each applicant. The
President is the sole decision-maker for membership.
ARTICLE 5. Chapter Expectations
Each chapter is given flexibility in how it chooses to
pursue the ASPS mission. Successful past activities
have included such things as: squirrel feeding
expeditions, daytime campouts on campus (to promote
club awareness), recruitment drives (via recruitment
tables, flyers, ASPS stickers, etc.), joint projects
with other campus organizations, and various social
activities. A web site is also highly recommended
with links to fellow ASPS chapters (help is available
for doing this). Many chapters also choose to produce
ASPS membership cards and t-shirts for their members.
All chapters are expected to conduct their activities
in an honorable fashion in accordance with the virtues
of the ASPS.
