Our Pillars
Active Member Status
Our active members are those Hermanas who have been able to take full advantage of all of the various components that HaU de UCD has to offer. You do not need to have active member status to be considered an Hermana. Non-active members will not be turned away. We encourage everyone to join our Hermandad in any possible manner!
​
The requirements to be considered an active member are as follows:
​
Academic Component
A combination of 5 hours through organized study hall sessions/groups of 3 or more Hermanas, and 5 personal study hours, for a total of 10 academic hours each quarter. Attendance of 30 hours per academic year is required. The only hours accepted are those that have been reported and confirmed by the Academic Chair.
Community Service Component
Each quarter, active members are required complete 8 hours of community service organized by the Hermanas Unidas Community Service Chair. Out of these, 4 hours must served alongside Hermanas, while the remaining 4 hours can be completed individually. A total of 24 hours of service is required per academic year. Please note that only hours reported to and confirmed by the Community Service Chair will be accepted.​
Quarterly Dues
Pay dues each quarter. Dues are used to facilitate HaU events, activities, and supplies. By paying dues, you avoid paying for events on your own at full price or at all. There is no set amount for the cost of dues as events/activities vary each quarter. As we cater to first-generation students, we understand if a payment plan or late payment is needed, reach out to our Treasurer for more information.
