Mission Statement: In order to overcome the current lack of interest and intense fear of mathematics of the surrounding community, to show each other what lies in the wonderful world of mathematics through open communication between us, to find a way to alleviate the growing animosity and stereotypes given to "math people", and lastly and most importantly—to show the world that math is not awful, we establish this Constitution for the club Chaos on behalf of the people of Pacific Lutheran University.

Section 1. The name of this organization shall be Chaos: Pacific Lutheran University's Math Club.

Section 2. This organization shall comply with Pacific Lutheran University’s rules and objectives.

Section 3. This organization is affiliated with The Mathematical Association of America (The MAA), and PLU’s math department.

Section 1. Any PLU student interested in mathematics is eligible to become an active voting member and to hold office in Chaos.

Section 2. No one will be denied membership or office because of any reason other than not being interested in mathematics.

Section 1. There will be 3 offices: President, Vice-President, and Secretary/Treasurer. Other officers, such as web-page developer or public relations director, shall be determined as necessary in the same fashion as the election of the other officers. (See Article III, Section 2.)

Section 2. Officers shall be elected by a simple majority vote by the active voting members present at the meeting. This voting shall take place in the spring, and the new officers’ terms shall begin after the last meeting of that school year (May). Officers’ terms are one academic year.

Section 4. If an officer resigns or is removed from office, then an election will be held to replace that officer within two weeks of the resignation or removal. If that office should happen to be the President, then the Vice-President shall assume the presidency, and the election shall be held for the Vice-President position.

Section 1. Meetings shall be held at least monthly throughout the year, announced by any officer. It is strongly encouraged, however, to consult with the other officers before calling such a meeting.

Section 2. If there is any piece of legislation (amendment to this Constitution) that has been motioned, a vote at the meeting where it was motioned and a 2/3 majority shall determine its placement in the Chaos Constitution, or denial to that document.

Section 3. All members must be notified of all meetings.

Section 4. Each member of Chaos shall attend at least half of the meetings, with the exception of extenuating circumstances, as deemed such by the President and Vice-President.
