Alumni Corporation Recognition Information

Theta Chi International has created the Alumni Corporation Recognition Program. Every Biennium the Alumni Corporation needs to complete an application for the recognition to be renewed. The Zeta Apha Alumni Chapter has been recognized each biennium since its inception in 2022.

Through the application, each alumni corporation is required to demonstrate that it meets the following criteria:

The applying entity must be a nonprofit corporation

Only one associated alumni corporation/entity per active, inactive, or future chapter may be granted the right to designate a delegate to be seated at the International Convention. If more than one alumni corporation/entity per active, inactive, or future chapter is granted recognition under this policy, the Chief Executive Officer shall notify all recognized entities associated with the Chapter which recognized corporation is designated to seat a delegate.
The applying entity must be properly incorporated and in good standing with the appropriate state or governmental agency
The applying entity must be up to date on all Form 990 filings (or Canadian equivalent)
