Membership Status
Click on the Membership Points Roster Spring 2025 to check your membership status. All points will be recorded here. Email our Data Analysis Coordinator about any corrections or clarifications at dactamuprevet@gmail.com.
Fill out the Member Contact Form Spring 2025 here. This is a requirement for membership. The information entered will be organized and used if we need to contact you for any reason, so please make sure your information is correct when filling out this form.
Dues
Dues are $50 for the year or $30 for a single semester. They include a membership goodie bag (with a t-shirt) and allow you to participate in any event that requires a sign-up. If you paid dues in the fall for the year, you do not have to pay again in the spring. You can pay dues for the Spring 2025 semester starting the day of the first general meeting. If you have any questions, please email treasurertamuprevet@gmail.com.
Types of Membership
Basic Membership (0-59 points):
To become a general member of the Pre-Vet Society, you must pay dues by the last general meeting of the semester. We allow new members to join during both the Fall and Spring semesters!
Distinguished Membership (60 points & above):
To become a distinguished member, you must pay dues and fill out the member contact form by the Third General Meeting of the semester and earn 60 points by participating in PVS events throughout the semester. A list of the distinguished members will be sent to the Dean of Texas A&M’s vet school at the conclusion of each semester.
Please note that if you filled out the Member Contact Form in the fall semester, that data carries over to the spring, similar to yearly dues. Also, if you do not show up for an event you signed up for, half of the points that the event is worth will be deducted from your semester total.
Check out the Opportunities page to see the different ways you can earn points. For a detailed explanation of point requirements and additional PVS information, view the 2024-2025 Constitution.
Scholarships
Distinguished members are eligible to receive one of three possible PVS scholarships each semester.
The top two PVS point earners that semester will receive the First and Second Place Pre-Vet Society Scholarships respectively. Only points that count towards distinguished membership will be counted in consideration for these scholarships. These awards aim to recognize highly involved members and their contributions to PVS.
The Service Scholarship will be awarded to the member with the highest number of total points. This total is calculated by adding the points that count towards distinguished membership and outside volunteering points that exceed the 8-point cap. This award aims to recognize exemplary stewardship and community service.
Graduating Members and PVS Alumni
Graduation cords are available for members who have earned distinguished membership in PVS for at least 4 semesters. These semesters do not need to be consecutive or in a row. PVS officers are also eligible to receive a graduation cord. Cords can be picked up at the merchandise table at meetings or seminars.
If you would like a cord for graduation, please fill out this Graduating Member Form. This form also asks you for information regarding your plans for after graduation and if you would like to be added to the PVS Alumni Listserv. On this Listserv, you will only receive emails one to two times a year from PVS to check in on our former members and to update you on our organization.
If you have any questions about ordering or receiving your cord, please email merchandisingtamuprevet@gmail.com. If you have any questions about the Alumni Listserv, please email communicationstamuprevet@gmail.com.
