Affiliate Member Group Discount
AFA offers a discount to Affiliate members who join as a group. Affiliate members are individuals actively concerned with enhancement of the advisement of men's or women's fraternities who are not employed in full-time administrative positions by a college/university or inter/national fraternity or sorority, including volunteer advisors and officers on the campus, regional or national level, faculty members, and other interested parties. To take full advantage of the group discount, all members should sign up at the same time. Groups may be made up of individuals volunteering for a fraternity/sorority (Ex. the national officers of an organization) or individuals from a college/university (Ex. all the chapter advisors from a campus). An individual can only be counted in one group. For more information, contact the
Central Office.
