The Podium is the official publication of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma. It is currently published twice a year in the spring and fall. The Podium offers the opportunity to publicize your chapter and band activities by submitting an article for publication. Communication is vital to a growing organization such as ours. News articles, personality profiles, special projects or activities, and editorial comments from your members, are eligible for publication. Copy deadline dates are DECEMBER 1 AND MAY 1.
Submitting to the Podium
Your articles may be submitted via E-mail to [email protected], on CD, or online via the submission form on the Podium Online. Each chapter will receive one printed copy of the Podium. Additional copies for your chapter may be requested in advance by notifying the National Headquarters.
The following is a list of suggestions from National Headquarters:
The following is a list of suggestions from National Headquarters:
- Remember that articles must be received by May 1 for the fall issue and December 1 for the spring issue. Within the subject line include “Podium Article for [insert chapter name here].”
- Feature articles should be 1-2 pages not including photos. You can figure 600 words per page, so a 2-page article would be about 1,200 words. Try to keep your article to a multiple of 300 words, with a 600 word/1-page minimum.
- Fraternity/sorority-wide news items should be one-half page/300-word minimum, not including photo(s).
- Chapter update/news items should be one-quarter page/150-word minimum, not including photo(s).
- Articles may be submitted as an attachment to an e-mail message or submitted by subscribing to the Podium Online and submitting them using the form in the right-hand column of every page; save the article as either a Microsoft® Word document or in Rich Text Format – DO NOT submit a pdf only!
- Be sure to send photos illustrating your story. Submissions containing photographs will receive priority for publication and they make for much nicer reads when placed online.
- Every photo must have a caption! Be sure to include the photo captions within the e-mail for the article you send and be sure you identify everyone in the photo.
- Original photos are preferred, either color or black-and-white.
