  • There must be at least seven (7) prospective members to apply for a local or professional chapter charter.
  • All prospective members must be financial with the National Alumni Association prior to forming the chapter by paying their National membership dues of $30.

Class year, college major, maiden name) must be sent to the Alumni Association’s National Office.
