Recommend a Member (undergraduate)
Thank you for recommending an outstanding young woman for membership! Our chapters appreciate your continued loyalty in Alpha Chi Omega and your desire to share our sisterhood with others. Below you will find the recruitment information form. Here is a brief review of Alpha Chi Omega’s legacy policy for all alumnae:
As outlined in the Polices of Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity (Section R7), the legacy policy states:
R7 Legacy
A legacy to Alpha Chi Omega is a sister, daughter, granddaughter or great-granddaughter of a member. The Alpha Chi Omega member and her family member define their legacy relationship, i.e. step relations, blended families, etc.
R7.1 Preferred Candidate for Membership
An undergraduate legacy who meets membership standards and eligibility requirements is considered a preferred candidate and:
[a] Is invited to the first invitational round of events during the formal recruitment process.
[b] Is invited to at least one recruitment event in an informal or continuous recruitment process.
R7.2 Placement on Final Bid List
A legacy who attends a formal recruitment preference event is placed on the first bid list by the collegiate chapter.
While legacies are not guaranteed membership in an Alpha Chi Omega collegiate chapter, all collegiate chapters welcome the opportunity to meet Alpha Chi Omega legacies. It is our intent to educate both alumnae and collegians about the importance of inviting legacies to membership.
It is always difficult when a legacy is released during recruitment, but as long as the chapter follows the National policy, the National Fraternity respects the decision of the collegiate chapter. Additionally, chapters are not required to call the relatives of legacies to notify them that a legacy has been released or discuss the reason the chapter chose to release the legacy. Some chapters do have this practice, but it is not required of chapters to make this call.
All alumnae are encouraged to complete a Membership Recommendation Form for any relative or friend who will be participating in recruitment.

Alumna Initiate Program
While many women join sororities during college, Alpha Chi Omega has long sought and accepted members who’ve already graduated and now seek the benefits of a strong women’s organization. All of us are enriched by a community of interesting and accomplished women of all ages. And it’s okay to make that choice beyond college.
An alumna initiate is simply a woman who was not involved with Alpha Chi Omega or another sorority as a collegian, but who now wants to join. Often, we encounter women who’ve served Alpha Chi Omega in some way or who know one or more of our members. However you come to know us, we’re interested in knowing you. And now is an excellent time to join! The 2010 National Convention passed exciting new legislation that enhances our alumna initiate program. We've made it easier to join and made alumna initiate membership more relevant.
