MEMBERSHIP ACADEMY

Membership Academy is a weekend long program designed to assist chapters struggling with recruiting, developing, or retaining members. Chapter leaders that are looking to help improve their chapter and the Fraternity as a whole are highly encouraged to attend one of the yearly courses.  At the completion of this course attendees will earn a certificate of completion in Alpha Phi Omega’s official chapter development program.

In an effort to encourage success in new Alpha Phi Omega Chapters the Fraternity offers a scholarship for up to two members per group to attend Membership Academy. In order to receive the scholarship students from the group planning to attend must first register through the online form and pay the registration price. Then a representative of the group must notify the National Office of the individuals that will be receiving the scholarships by emailing [email protected].
