                        What is NRHH

• The NRHH National Office:                NRHH is the recognition branch of
   NACURH. NACURH, as an organization, that believes recognition must be
   strong and an essential part of the Residence Hall community. As such,
   NRHH exists to ensure that we do not forget to give those necessary and
   more than deserved, pats on the back.

• NRHH works as a recognition tool through individual campus chapters.
  NRHH chapters have a very special way of recognizing accomplishments at
  their schools through membership into the organization, Of The Month’s, and
  recognition activities. The NRHH chapter membership (per school) is
  restricted to 1% of students living in the residence halls, or a minimum of 20.
  So, once inducted into NRHH you can consider yourself a member of the
  Top 1% of residence hall leaders.
          What does NRHH Do?
  The activity of the chapters varies from campus
  to campus.
• Some are simply honorary chapters and induct new
  members at an annual recognition banquet once a
  year.
• Others are extremely active on their campuses and in
  their communities: coordinating leadership retreats,
  conferences, socials, campus wide programs,
  fundraisers, and a whole host of other events.
• Some have found a middle ground that works best for
  their campus needs by incorporating both concepts.
      What is required to be in NRHH
• Minimum Induction Criteria for Chapters
  An individual must:
• Have lived in the residence halls for at least one
  year.
• Have made a positive contribution to the
  residence hall system.
• Be in good standing at their school.
• Have at least a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
        Types of Membership
• NRHH Membership
 Once an individual has been inducted as an NRHH
 member, he/she is an NRHH member for life.
• General Membership
 A general member of an NRHH Chapter is one that has
 been inducted into the Chapter and is currently living in
 on-campus housing. Temporary leaves from on-campus
 housing such as, but not limited to: co-ops, internships, or
 study abroad, will not effect the individual’s general status
 of NRHH. In the case of a temporary leave, the NRHH
 member should notify the Chapter president, in writing,
 including the duration of the temporary leave.
   Types of Membership Cont’d
• Alumni Membership
  An alumni member of an NRHH Chapter is a member that has
  moved off campus or graduated. These members do not count in
  the 1% cap.
• Honorary Membership
  An Honorary membership is designed to recognize people
  including, but not limited to: housing personnel, instructors, college
  or university staff, and those who have demonstrated outstanding
  support and service to the residence hall students. Individuals who
  could qualify for general membership, with the exception of
  graduating seniors, cannot be inducted as an "honorary member."
  The number of honorary members a chapter shall be able to induct
  per academic year will not exceed ten percent of the chapter's
  membership cap. These members do not count in the 1% cap.
    Who is in Charge of NRHH
• The NRHH national level consists of the National
  Office.
• The National Office is responsible for affiliating
  NRHH chapters, selecting national OTM’s (Of the
  Months), designing the apparel and maintaining
  inventory (T-shirts, sweatshirts, and pins, oh my)
  and a host of other tasks.
• There are also members at the regional level
  called RAD’s (Regional Associate Director); they
  work with the National Office and with the
  regions in regards to NRHH, OTM’s and
  recruitment, as well as other tasks.
       How should NRHH be set up
             at my school ?
• The National Office constitution states:
1. Each chapter shall have a constitution which must contain
   articles relating to name, purpose, membership qualification,
   selection procedures, officers, meetings, finances, and
   amendment procedures.
2. All chapter constitutions shall be subject to the provisions of
   the NRHH; its By-Laws and amendments; and amendments
   to the NACURH, Inc. Constitution and By-Laws.
• However all other aspects of the running of your chapter is
   up to the chapter’s exec board and your advisor
        What is an OTM?
Of-the-Month awards are a primary means of
recognizing outstanding individuals and
programs during a particular month. The actual
OTM form can be made available at your
school’s NRHH office. (Hint: OTM's are normally
due by the 10th of each month so chances are
you'll always be nominating someone from the
previous month.) Keep in mind that nominations
are often judged by how "above and beyond" the
call of duty someone went. You can even write
an OTM for yourself.
        Still have Questions?

• The best way to get your questions answered is
  by contacting:
• Your RAD (check your regional web site)
