What does membership in our chapter of the NHS entail?

Being a member of the NHS requires that you attend the monthly mandatory meetings (if not live, by watching the recording). Three absences counts for a potential removal from the chapter. Members also commit to completing an Individual Service Project amounting to 10 hours or more, as well as partaking in a Group Service Project run by second-year NHS members. Additionally, the NHS also gives the opportunity to be part of a wonderful and joyous community of students who help each other out in various aspects, allowing the members to grow closer to God together.
