Organizing an Alumni Association

The initial organizing effort for an alumni association should be the responsibility of an Executive Committee. In order to be most effective, the committee should consist of five to eight Phi Theta Kappa alumni.

Responsibilities of the Executive Committee

• Securing an association advisor(s), if not already accomplished.
• Locating potential members. (Note: A minimum of 15 members is required to charter an alumni association.)
• Choosing an association name.
• Establishing objectives and goals of the alumni association.
• Drafting association by-laws.
• Completing and submitting the following:
  • Alumni Association Petition
  • Alumni Chartering Information Sheet
  • Alumni Association Information Sheet
  • Alumni Association By-Laws
  • Alumni Association Advisor Form(s)
  • Statement of Goals and Objectives
  • Membership Report Form
  • Charter Fee
  The above must be submited to Phi Theta Kappa Headquarters. Your request for a charter cannot be processed until all forms and fees have been received by the Headquarters.
• Planning the installation ceremony.

Before convening the prospective members of the alumni association, the Executive Committee should try to complete most, if not all, of the details listed above. Much time will be saved and interest maintained if the details are completed beforehand.
