Members and non-members are encouraged to submit a Recruitment Information form for Potential New Members who embody our values. RIFs have replaced our previous Recommendation Form-also known as a “rec.” Upon completion, this form will be forwarded to the selected chapter. Recruitment Information Forms are not a requirement-nor do they guarantee membership-but they are beneficial to our chapters when filled out as completely as possible.
Please note: Online submissions are preferred; however, you may access the printable version here and mail it directly to the chapter.
