<p class="MsoNormal">Hope you are enjoying your summer! While we are transitioning to the new ManeSync system and you will need to reupload your organization’s constitution, please make sure you have included the required clauses:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Non-Discrimination clause:<br>
<b><i><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif">Sample non-discrimination clause <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anti-Hazing clause:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><i><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif">“This organization prohibits its members, both individually and collectively from committing any acts of hazing as defined herein:</span></i><br>
