I. Article Submission Guidelines For The Oracle & Source Newsletters 

1. When writing the story use Times New Roman font and 12pt size. The first line of your story should be the title in regular print no caps or bold letters, for example Brothers Uplift the Community. The Second line should be the brother who wrote it, chapter name, and city the chapter is in for example, Bro. Na'Shon Edwards, Sr. / Rho Theta (Theta Chi) / Prairie View, TX. The suggested length for the body of your story is at least 200 words. Do not put pictures or graphics within the story, it should only contain words, puncuation, and characters in the format explained above. Do not combine multiple stories within one word document. See the articles within The Source as a reference for the writing format required for submissions.  

2. Draft an email. Your email should contain word document and picture attachments. Each word document and picture must be labeled with state, chapter, and event name for example (TX-Theta Alpha- Voter Registration) so that they can be properly saved within the database.

4. You will receive a reply within 24 hours stating "Received, Thank You". If you do not receive a reply double check to ensure your email was received.

II. Video Submission Guidelines for The Source TV Videocast 

1. Record content by cell phone or tablet with the I Movie (Apple) or FilmoraGo (Android) application. Filming the video within these applications will give you edit capabilites that are compatible with what the PR Committee uses. Also, while recording content be sure your device is facing sideways because the final video will be widescreen. 

2. Edit your video clips to create one 30 second to 2 minutes long video. Name the video file with state, chapter, and event name. (AR - Phi Mu Mu - Adopt-A-Highway)
