Other Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can LITs participate with their chapter? LITs may not compete or participate in activities as a camper. They will be completely separate from their chapter, much like the Summer Staff.
- When can LITs serve? The LITs can serve on any week of Summer Leadership Camp, but we prefer that they serve on a week after they attend as a camper. If the LIT serves on the same week that their chapter attends, then they will be completely separate from their chapter. If the LIT serves on a week prior to attending as a camper, they will not be allowed to compete in some events when they attend as a camper.
- When will LITs report? The ideal time frame is Sunday evening through Friday afternoon.
- Who is responsible for the LITs? The Program Director will be directly responsible for LITs. There will also be a Staff intern who helps to supervise them.
- Where will LITs stay? LITs will stay in semi-private lodging near an adult staff member.
- How will LITs know what to do? Once selected, each LIT will receive a manual with guidelines and instructions.
