 One
objective of the Fraternity is to develop leadership, fellowship
and character among its student members. Academics, leadership and
character continue to be the criteria used to determine students
eligible to join Alpha Zeta. Prospective members must have an academic
record in the upper two-fifths (40%) of their class after the completion
of one academic year.
Beginning with this academic benchmark,
chapters determine their own selection process. To strengthen
chapters and increase student participation, the High Council
encourages chapters to initiate in the fall and to initiate a
balance of sophomores, juniors and seniors.
The Fraternity encourages activities
and service projects that help student members take advantage
of the opportunity Alpha Zeta provides to develop their leadership
skills. The student members of Alpha Zeta have undertaken a wide
variety of projects to develop these ideals.
To encourage participation of
students in national events, the High Council has a position of
Student Representative. |
