TORCH
A collection of resources to help your chapter transition from one class to the next.
Give the gift of legacy to your next generation of chapter leaders.
You, the chapter officers, are the lifeblood of gaming communities on campus. You provide vision, leadership, structure, and a place for your members to call home. But like all good things, all officers come and go. Eventually, everyone has to pass the torch.
The Transition Guide
To help you take the next step in your journey, we created a Transition Guide — a tutorial on how to give the gift of legacy to your next generation of officers. In this guide, you'll find a breakdown of the basic steps you'll need to select and onboard your new leadership, as well as some resources and templates to help you along the way.
Complete Your Semester Report
Ready to flip the switch on your new officers? Whether you used our Transition Guide or your own tried-and-true process, all we ask if that you finalize your selection by submitting your Semester Report with the contact information of your new officer class so that we can continue to support your chapter for years to come.
Report Card
After you complete the Semester Report, we'll send you a customized Report Card with comparative stats about your chapter and our network!
Transition Resources Folder
Have your own tried-and-true recruitment process? No problem. The steps in our Transition Guide are optional, but we encourage you to use our resources if you think they'll be helpful.
Templates & Guides
No need to reinvent the wheel. Browse through our Resources folder to see what you can reference or repurpose for your club!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to follow the Transition Guide?
Not at all -- this guide is here solely as a resource. The only true requirement is that you complete the Semester Report by the end of the Semester, regardless of whether or not your leadership team has changed, so that we know who to contact for your chapter. You can also ask your new officers to fill out the Semester Report, just make sure you're passing along the link or introducing them to your Chapter Coordinator.
I'm struggling with finding a new team of officers!
Don't worry, you're not alone. Many leaders struggle to find new officers, and we're here to help. Reach out to your Chapter Coordinator so we can sit down with your team and provide personalized advice for your chapter.
