Affiliate Membership

What is Affiliate Membership?
Affiliate Membership targets two groups; fraternities and sororities who fit into a current council structure and are waiting until they can petition a council and fraternities and sororities that don't fit into a current structure but still want to be a part of Greek Life and Intercultural Education.

Who is eligible for Affiliate Membership?
Affiliate membership is available to all single sex, Greek-lettered social organizations on campus, regardless of whether they have a national governing body or not. If the group is not national in scope, they must be before they are eligible to petition a council. After being granted Affiliate status, a chapter has access to all the leadership development, scholarship opportunities, risk management education, and academic programming offered by Greek Life and Intercultural Education.

What is the Affiliate Membership process like?
The affiliate membership program application process primarily addresses the issues of risk management, academics and membership. It involves a written application as well as an interview with GLIE staff members. For more specific information, please contact Andrea Handzus to set up a preliminary interview for your chapter's executive board.
