UPDATED CREDIT FORMAT
This semester we are implementing a new way of earning New Member credits. Although the requirement will stay at 1 NM social credit, there will be varied distributions of the credits. The recruitment events (8/31 and 9/8), and induction (10/27) will be worth ½ a NM Social credit. The other NM events will keep their worth at 1 credit. This was changed to more accurately reflect the time spent at a NM event, and to encourage more engagement between NMs and GMs. We are excited to see you around this semester!
