What is the fee to join?The lifetime national membership fee is $30. Chapters may add local dues for chapter use.
Does Alpha Chi induct graduate students?
Yes, starting in the late spring of 2007, chapters are able to invite graduate students to membership.
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 my school has a chapter but I don't know what the local membership requirements are?
Contact your school's faculty sponsor in charge of maintaining the chapter. That person should be able to answer your questions. If you're unable to find the name of your local chapter sponsor, call the national office for help.
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.
Alpha Chi is organized as a non-profit corporation in the state of Texas and is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies.
