Rules of Non-Parliamentary Procedure
POINT OF PERSONAL OUTRAGE At any time during a meeting when a participant becomes extremely upset, they shall have the right to interrupt any other speaker, will not be required to wait for recognition from the Chair, and has the obligation to speak at a volume considerably higher than required for normal conversation.
POINT OF IRRELEVANT INTERJECTION Irrespective of the motion on the floor, the participant shall have the right to monopolize the meeting for not more than five minutes as they discourse on a point the relevance of which escapes all other participants.
POINT OF PERSONAL ATTACK In response to a point raised by another speaker, the participant shall have the right to reply by launching a personal attack. At no time shall the point itself be addressed.
POINT OF ASSOCIATIVE GUILT The participant shall have the right to impugn the brotherhood of any other brother by alleging that they are, were, might be, has a third cousin who is, or may have great-grandchildren who will belong to any and all organizations designated by the participant as dedicated to the destruction of the chapter.
POINT OF CONTEMPT The participant shall have the right to grunt, throw papers down on the table, shake his or her head vigorously, or otherwise demonstrate contempt for the proceedings.
POINT OF HARASSMENT The participant shall have the right to introduce irrelevant motions for the sole purpose of delaying the meeting. It is only permissible to resort to a point of harassment when the outcome of an imminent vote is obvious.
POINT OF REDUNDANT INFORMATION This is not to be confused with the more familiar "point of information." Whereas a point of information is a request for information from the Chair, a point of redundant information entitles the participant to tell those in the meeting something they already know.
POINT OF REDUNDANCY This is a motion that entitles the participant to make a point made by another participant no more than five speakers earlier.
POINT OF PIOUS POSTURING This motion entitles the participant to make reference to any Local or National By-law that allegedly supports their point of view. A correct quotation, however, immediately disqualifies the point.
POINT OF GRUDGE Entitles the participant to raise an issue debated by the organization not less than five years earlier, for which the participant has not yet forgiven those involved.
POINT OF PERSONAL CONFUSION To be called when the member in question has lost complete track of where the discussion is going due to the extreme tangent that it has taken. ex. A motion to clean up the chapter's mile that it has 'adopted' is one the floor. After several rounds of debate the conversation is now centered around whether the brothers are living up thier obligations (oaths, requirements, etc.). At this point brother X calls "POINT OF PERSONAL CONFUSION, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?"
POINT OF PERSONAL *****NESS This is to be called if the member in question feels that the subject being discussed is of an extremely ***** nature. ex. A discussion as to whether the chapter president would look better covered in Spam or grape jelly is going on. At this point brother X calls "POINT OF PERSONAL *****NESS, this is really *****."
