    • Obtain a letter of endorsement from your Dean, Vice President, President, or Chancellor
    • Identify a minimum of 4 prospective student members, fill out the membership application cover spreadsheet and have it ready to attach to your application:
    • Identify a Faculty Advisor and Faculty Secretary and have their names and contact information ready to be included on your application
    • Complete the Petition form below with all of the above information:
    • Have members complete their own membership application (See below for details for each member type)
    • Membership applications may be sent in after you submit the Petition to Establish a Collegiate Chapter or after your petition has been approved.
    • You will be invoiced $300 + membership fees as soon as your charter application is approved.
