The National Accreditation Program is designed to ensure that chapters and provisional chapters are meeting the minimum expectations for chapter operations and member development while aspiring to achieve greater engagement and positive Fraternal experiences at a local level. We embrace the diversity of skillsets and experiences our chapters offer their members and community; this program is designed to help encourage chapters to further shape their futures. All chapters are expected to participate in the National Accreditation Program on a semester-basis.
