How can my University start a new chapter?

Many resources are available to help you start a chapter on your campus. The information in the Chapter Manual can serve as an extensive overview of the steps you should take to get started. There are certain requirements your institution must fulfill in order to be eligible (View requirements). Once you have reviewed this information, you should contact and submit the filled out Chapter Chartering Petition Form to the Executive Office. It would be useful to send us your petition in electronic format--as much as possible.  See Requirements page for more detail.
