Alpha Chi - Membership Questions

 

Can I apply for membership with the national office?

No. Invitations to membership are issued only by the faculty of colleges and universities that have an Alpha Chi chapter.

Who is eligible for membership in Alpha Chi?

At colleges and universities that have a chapter of Alpha Chi, membership is limited to the top 10 percent of juniors and seniors.

Does Alpha Chi induct graduate students?

No, only undergraduate juniors and seniors. However, members who later become graduate students at a university with an Alpha Chi chapter may remain active in the chapter.

How do I know whether my school has an Alpha Chi chapter?

Check our institutional membership directory (link).

What if my school doesn't have a chapter?

Then the only way you can become a member of Alpha Chi is to help establish a new chapter on your campus. If you e-mail the national office, we can tell you more about this process. However, the key will be enlisting faculty and administrative support, since the application for a chapter must come through the institution itself.

What if my school is listed but no one seems to know anything about Alpha Chi?

Perhaps the chapter has become inactive. In this case, contact the national office for assistance in reviving the chapter. Sometimes this can be accomplished if students on campus demonstrate sufficient interest to the administration and faculty.

What if I think I should be invited but I haven't been?

Again, you need to check with the chapter sponsor. You could have been accidentally overlooked, or you may not be aware of some requirement you are missing.
