What is NRHH • The NRHH National Office:NRHH is the recognition branch of NACURH. NACURH, as an organization, that believes recognition must be strong and an essential part of the Residence Hall community. As such, NRHH exists to ensure that we do not forget to give those necessary and more than deserved, pats on the back. • NRHH works as a recognition tool through individual campus chapters. NRHH chapters have a very special way of recognizing accomplishments at their schools through membership into the organization, Of The Month’s, and recognition activities. The NRHH chapter membership (per school) is restricted to 1% of students living in the residence halls, or a minimum of 20. So, once inducted into NRHH you can consider yourself a member of the Top 1% of residence hall leaders.
What does NRHH Do? The activity of the chapters varies from campus to campus. • Some are simply honorary chapters and induct new members at an annual recognition banquet once a year. • Others are extremely active on their campuses and in their communities: coordinating leadership retreats, conferences, socials, campus wide programs, fundraisers, and a whole host of other events. • Some have found a middle ground that works best for their campus needs by incorporating both concepts.
What is required to be in NRHH • Minimum Induction Criteria for Chapters An individual must: • Have lived in the residence halls for at least one year. • Have made a positive contribution to the residence hall system. • Be in good standing at their school. • Have at least a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
Types of Membership • NRHH Membership Once an individual has been inducted as an NRHH member, he/she is an NRHH member for life. • General Membership A general member of an NRHH Chapter is one that has been inducted into the Chapter and is currently living in on-campus housing. Temporary leaves from on-campus housing such as, but not limited to: co-ops, internships, or study abroad, will not effect the individual’s general status of NRHH. In the case of a temporary leave, the NRHH member should notify the Chapter president, in writing, including the duration of the temporary leave.
Types of Membership Cont’d • Alumni Membership An alumni member of an NRHH Chapter is a member that has moved off campus or graduated. These members do not count in the 1% cap. • Honorary Membership An Honorary membership is designed to recognize people including, but not limited to: housing personnel, instructors, college or university staff, and those who have demonstrated outstanding support and service to the residence hall students. Individuals who could qualify for general membership, with the exception of graduating seniors, cannot be inducted as an "honorary member." The number of honorary members a chapter shall be able to induct per academic year will not exceed ten percent of the chapter's membership cap. These members do not count in the 1% cap.
Who is in Charge of NRHH • The NRHH national level consists of the National Office. • The National Office is responsible for affiliating NRHH chapters, selecting national OTM’s (Of the Months), designing the apparel and maintaining inventory (T-shirts, sweatshirts, and pins, oh my) and a host of other tasks. • There are also members at the regional level called RAD’s (Regional Associate Director); they work with the National Office and with the regions in regards to NRHH, OTM’s and recruitment, as well as other tasks.
How should NRHH be set up at my school ? • The National Office constitution states: 1. Each chapter shall have a constitution which must contain articles relating to name, purpose, membership qualification, selection procedures, officers, meetings, finances, and amendment procedures. 2. All chapter constitutions shall be subject to the provisions of the NRHH; its By-Laws and amendments; and amendments to the NACURH, Inc. Constitution and By-Laws. • However all other aspects of the running of your chapter is up to the chapter’s exec board and your advisor
What is an OTM? Of-the-Month awards are a primary means of recognizing outstanding individuals and programs during a particular month. The actual OTM form can be made available at your school’s NRHH office. (Hint: OTM's are normally due by the 10th of each month so chances are you'll always be nominating someone from the previous month.) Keep in mind that nominations are often judged by how "above and beyond" the call of duty someone went. You can even write an OTM for yourself.
Still have Questions? • The best way to get your questions answered is by contacting: • Your RAD (check your regional web site) • NRHH National Office (www.NRHH.org)
