The goals of the Alpha Chi Chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma are to honor academic excellence, promote community service, enhance educational leadership and encourage unity. This oath will be said in unison, by all members inducted at the induction ceremony. As a member of Alpha Phi Sigma, I pledge to strive for academic excellence, to promote chapter unity, to work to improve the criminal justice system, and to educate ourselves and our community about crime and criminal justice.
All members can be either active or inactive.
Active members work steadily toward meeting the stated requirements in terms of hours of community service by March 1, for the trip to nationals and by May 1 or December 1, for graduation honor cords. A prospective regular or associate member shall submit an application form to the faculty advisor for approval, along with the appropriate fees. Associate members are individuals who work to expand the visibility and effectiveness of Alpha Phi Sigma and who are working to meet the requirements for regular membership but who have not yet met them. Associate members may participate in all chapter activities, but are not granted the rights of regular membership as above. Honorary memberships are granted to one or two criminal justice practitioners per year, in order to recognize outstanding professional achievement and service to criminal justice.
