Re: Letterman jackets and point system

We have a list of requirements... unfortunately, I don't have it in front of me right now, though. It's basically centered around the goals of the team:
- attend a certain % of meetings (for the build team, this applies during build season. For PR, it's all year)
- Attend our competitions (there's some wiggle room in there for attending off-season versus regional events, for those students with unavoidable scheduling conflicts)
- Participate in our outreach and fundraising events (this goes towards our Chairman's efforts)
- Be a member for at least 2 years (We want to see continuity, as students are typically much more prepared and skilled after they've completed a season)
- distinguish yourself on the team (we have a number of leadership positions available, as well as positions with additional responsibilities for students to take on, all outlined in the handbook)
- Attend all required meetings (kickoff, recruitment meetings, end of the year clean up day, etc)

Basically, everything is designed to help the team run smoothly, constantly improve, and increase our ability to achieve our team goals. It's also something that active participant who is excited about the team will achieve without even thinking about it. I don't think we've had any student really pay attention to these rules, and almost all of them have earned a letter after 2 years in.
