Letter to the People
Howdy!
My name is Kentlee Brogan Crockett and I am the DSUSA Vice-President of Clubs and
Organizations for the 2014-15 school year. I would like to express to you the fantastic
opportunity that has been presented to you as club administration and advisor. DSUSA Clubs and
Organizations has one of the biggest influences on students experience and overall student life.
Clubs and Organizations provides an avenue for like-minded individuals to congregate, develop
leadership skills, and form invaluable connections. Inter-Club Council (ICC) hopes to enrich the
lives of our club presidents and members by building those bridges of connection and making it
so everyone has a place to “belong”.
The Club representatives and I are working diligently to address, and assist, your needs
and desires as clubs on the DSU campus. We have planned many opportunities for training and
interaction for you and your club to get out and participate in the community that we call Dixie
State University and St. George. My hope is that you will get to know and utilize your Club
Representative and make big things happen for your club. In the words of our fearless Student
Government Advisor, Jordon Sharp, “If we aren’t telling you no every once in awhile you aren’t
thinking big enough.” My favorite thing about being part of Clubs is the opportunities it brings
students to be part of the traditions of Dixie. The Homecoming Parade, Rock the Mall, Campus to
Community, Dixie Fest, True Rebel, and The Great Race.
If you let it, being a student and student leader on campus will benefit you beyond
anything you could ever imagine. There are so many opportunities for you and your clubs to grow
and learn, and most importantly, pursue what you love. If there is ANYTHING I can do to better
assist you and your club or organization please make contact me or your Club Rep. I am greatly
honored to be able to work with you and your organization.
Cordially,
Kentlee Brogan Crockett
DSUSA Vice President of Clubs and Organizations

Responsibilities of a Club
President:
Being a club president is a very rewarding responsibility; you are, in a way starting and running
your own business. A club president’s duties are as follows (individual clubs will have their own
responsibilities) but not limited to:
1. Attending Bi-Weekly ICC Meetings
a. ICC Meetings are held every other Tuesday in Gardner Center Ballroom B at 4
PM.
i.
Club Presidents will be notified about when ICC meetings are being held
via e-mail, text or OrgSync by their Club Representative.
b. The first ICC of each semester is a MANADATORY meeting for the Club
President and Club Advisor to attend. This is part of your agreement to maintain
your charter with DSU as a club, if you fail to attend, arrangements can be made
to make up for the absence with the VP of Clubs Brogan Crockett.
2. Keep their Club’s OrgSync account up to date with the following information:
a. Current Club Presidency and Advisor are with their contact information.
b. Where and when weekly meetings are held.
c. When there is a change in club presidency it must be updated immediately.
i.
At the end of the semester a successor needs to be found by the date of
the last ICC Meeting. If a successor is not found by this time, the club’s
account will be frozen until one is found and updated on OrgSync.
d. Update their Club’s OrgSync Portal EVERY semester to be in good standing with
your clubs charter at DSU, regardless if there are no changes.
3. Recruit new members for their club.
a. At the beginning of each semester clubs are invited to participate in Club Rush.
i.
Sign up for Club Rush on OrgSync in the forms section.
b. Club Presidents and other members can recruit through out the semester by word

welcomed and encouraged!
4. Meet with their advisor at least 3 times a semester

the semester, mid terms and at the end of each Semester.
b. It is encouraged that a Club President meets frequently with their Advisor.
5. Organize, schedule and attend at least 2 club meetings per month.
a. See page for instructions on how to schedule a meeting space.
It is important to know that you do not have to do everything on your own. When it comes to
organizing activities and getting members excited to come to events you can delegate some
11
responsibilities to other members of your presidency. However there are some things like
updating the OrgSync page and attending ICC that are the responsibility of the Club President.
Responsibilities of a Club
Advisor:
1. Every club must have an on-campus advisor
a. An advisor must be a current member of the faculty and/or staff at Dixie State
University
b. When more than one advisor is named, one must be designated as the
Principal advisor to whom primary responsibility is assigned
c. All advisors will be approved by both the Vice President of Clubs and
Organizations and the Director of Student Involvement and Leadership.
2. Each advisor must be a member of the Inter-Club Council portal on Orgsync. Orgsync is
a program specifically designed to help university clubs communicate and maintain their
club. As a member of the ICC portal you will be notified of pertinent information
concerning your club. Here is how to become a member:
a. Log into your Orgsync account. If you are not a member Orgsync, please create
an account at www.orgsync.com
b. Once on the Dixie State University Community Home Page click Browse
Organizations
c. Type Inter Club Council into the search bar
d. Click Join Now
3. Advisors should also be members and administrators of their specific club’s Orgsync
portal. If you need help joining your club portal and becoming an administrator please,
contact Joel Griffin at [email protected] or at 652-7738. As an administrator you can
send emails and texts to each member of the club, manage timesheets, change the Join
Club settings, etc.
4. Assure that the club Orgsync portal is updated. Orgsync is how students join clubs and
find meeting information. If is not up-to-date the club will find it difficult to grow.
5. Club Advisors must be present at all overnights and/or out-of-state trips. It is against
DSU policy to conduct an activity without the advisor present. If it is discovered that an
advisor is not in attendance at a club function, DSU reserves the right to terminate the
activity and take disciplinary action
6. Advisors provide assistance in filling out club forms and making sure all indemnity
agreements are signed and turned in. All club forms can be found at
www.dixiestudentlife.com, and then click on DSUSA Forms
7. Club advisors must approve all club purchases. This process has been simplified through
Orgsync. You will receive an email asking you to approve a Purchase Order (PO)
Request. The PO will not be filled out without your approval
8. The advisor is required to attend the first Club meeting of each term with their club
president
The advisor is required to attend a Club/Advisor Training Meeting each semester
12
The Purpose of ICC Meetings
ICC meeting is a bi-weekly meeting that is a requirement for each club president to
attend. This meeting is vital to your clubs success because it helps connect your club to campus.
At this meeting there is open forum time where you can advertise for your club to other club
presidents and get volunteers for upcoming events. Each meeting there is training in leadership,
and important networking opportunities.
It is during this meeting that you will learn about DSUSA traditions and opportunities
(Most of which will help you earn merit money, more on that later though). Whether it is sign
ups for Club Rush or information about getting a team together for the Great Race you will want
to be here to help your club stay active and earn money for personal club events. The reason it is
the club presidents responsibility to attend this meeting and not the Vice President or Treasurer is
because DSUSA funds clubs and Club Representatives need a point of contact that is
knowledgeable about the happenings in Clubs as well with DSUSA. Having the club president
be knowledgeable about these things helps keep our line of communication clear.

they are investigating a bill.
Writing a Club Bill
Request Form
Step 1 •
Type “dixiestudentlife.com” into a search engine in order to fill out a DSUSA Club Bill Request Form. Step 2 •
Click on the “DSUSA Forms” tab in the top right hand corner of the screen. This will lead you to the “DSUSA Forms page”.

How to be a selfsufficient
powerhouse
Step 1
•
As a club, your best asset is the diverse group that you have assemble, utilize each other’s unique talents and traits in order to further your clubs initiatives. Step 2
•
Think “outside the box!” Although you have the support of the ICC, you yourselves have a responsibility for your club or organizations success. Step 3
•
When Merit Money is not enough, it is time to branch out into other avenues for financial support such as: fundraising, reaching out to local businesses and/or organizations for sponsorship, and any other dynamic ideas that will perpetuate self-‐sustaining growth. Step 4
•
The Club Council will always be there as a resource (such as for bills and P.O. request), but we encourage you as clubs or organizations to be independent and self-‐sufficient entities. 25
Fundraising Policy
Clubs are welcome to participate in fundraising activities and deposit whatever money they raise directly into their
club’s account. Before doing this, however, clubs need to have/complete the following items for their event:
1. Clubs need to fill out an activity approval guide, available on Orgsync
(https://orgsync.com/35438/forms/79803).
2. As part of the activity approval guide, clubs need to call and get a cash box at the cashier’s office (6527605, option 1).
