Beta Psi Omega (BPO) Constitution Practice Test

How is an amendment formally started?

By the president alone announcing it By one member proposing it at chapter, seconded by another member By the national office initiating a proposal By a vote at a general public event

Correct Answer:

By one member proposing it at chapter, seconded by another member

Explanation:

Amendments begin when a member at the chapter level makes a formal proposal and another member seconds it. This creates an official motion that can be discussed and debated, ensuring changes come from the membership rather than a single leader. The president cannot start an amendment on their own, since that would bypass member input. Likewise, the national office initiating a proposal skips the chapter-level start and undermines grassroots involvement. A vote at a public event isn’t the trigger that starts the process; it’s the result of the formal proposal and discussion that follow. Once the proposal is properly started and seconded, it proceeds through the required steps to be considered and voted on.
