Even if they never ask for it — and in most cases they won't — your undergraduate brothers can benefit greatly from your involvement at the chapter level. What's more, you'll benefit from it as well. Because when you assist young Acacians in their pursuit of a positive fraternal experience, you'll strengthen the ties of friendship in new and meaningful ways.

Cornerstones: The Membership Development Program of Acacia Fraternity, provides excellent opportunities for alumni looking to get involved with a local chapter. To learn more about those opportunities, please click here.

Here are a few suggestions for areas where your involvement can make a difference:

Human Service. All good Acacians know that serving others is a reward unto itself. Help emphasize the lifelong importance of our fraternity's motto by participating with your undergraduate brothers in their philanthropic efforts.

Scholarship. From financial rewards to advising study programs, alumni involvement in our undergraduate brothers' all-important academic responsibilities can have a profound impact on their success, both now and throughout their lives.

Ritual. Help impart a deep understanding of the ideals of our ritual to your undergraduate brothers by observing or participating in the initiation ceremonies.

Rush. Be it recommending candidates for membership, hosting rush functions, providing financial backing, and/or sponsoring a rush seminar or retreat, the benefits to the active chapter of alumni involvement in rush cannot be overstated.

Housing Corporation. A viable house corporation works with the undergraduate chapter to provide quality housing and preserve the house as an asset. Contact your chapter's housing corporation to ascertain areas in which they need participation.

Chapter Programming. Sponsor presentations to the chapter on matters of interest to them as they prepare to launch their careers. Volunteer to bring your own unique insights or perhaps even those of an esteemed colleague.

Chapter Advisor. Serving as a chapter advisor is one of the most challenging — and one of the most rewarding — jobs an alumnus can undertake. As such you will be called upon to provide guidance in all areas of chapter operations, including rush, finances, pledge education, scholarship, and housing.

Summer Jobs & Internships. Are you in a position to provide summer employment, or do you know someone who is? Helping undergraduate Acacians gain valuable experience during the summer break will make an enormous difference in their lives and careers.

Brother, Mentor, Friend. Write a note of congratulations or encouragement to an individual or to the entire chapter. Listen to a younger brother's hopes, dreams or concerns. Attend a chapter meeting. State your views on an issue. Take part in a chapter dinner. These are just a few of the infinite number of simple ways you can extend the hand of brotherhood to the undergraduate members of your chapter. They will be better men for the experience. And so will you.
