Directory Update Information

This blog posting pertains to all Alumni, Associates, Advisors, Actives, Inactives, Pledges, and Honorary Members.

In hopes to get an electronic directory setup in a database, that we could then publish, and to have one common repository for all our members, I am asking for all members to send me their information. Hopefully, within a few semesters we can get this in a members only area on the website, and get it so that when someone's information changes, they can update it online.

We are trying to get our member history up to date. Please e-mail me the following information in the following format so that I can get it imported easily. For those who are familiar with it, I am trying to get a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file assembled, so that it can be imported easily into a wide variety of applications.

userID,Last Name,First Name,Middle Name,Nickname,Address Line 1,Address Line 2,City,State,Zip,Home,Cell,Work,Clan,E-mail,Status,Birthday,AIM,ICQ,MSN,Why Joined,Big Brother 1,Big Brother 2,Pledge Semester,Graduated Semester,Chapter Member Number, National Member Number,Website Address

If one does not apply to you, please leave it blank, and please do not put spaces in between the commas. If you wish to leave something out, you are free to do so, but we ask that you send all the information.

Please Note:

  • Criteria for the UserId: 5 to 12 characters (inclusive), and case sensitive. If I am not sent a UserId, then I will assign you one. If there are any updates to this I will let everybody know.

  • Member Numbers: Pledges do not have any as of yet. You member numbers can be found on your membership card. The chapter number is the smaller number before the space. The national number is the larger number after the space.


I would also strongly suggest, not putting the information in a comment under this post.

LFS,
Steven
