Member Orientation

Member orientation is a four-to-six week introductory program designed to help new members make a successful transition into Kappa Alpha Theta. During orientation, new members can expect to learn the values of Kappa Alpha Theta, responsibilities of membership, and resources and tools to assist them in their Theta experience.

As part of the program, new members will do the following:

  • Attend in-person modules, community building events, and chapter meetings;
  • Complete e-learning courses;
  • Make meaningful connections with members of the chapter;
  • Learn about Theta and campus-specific resources available to collegians; and
  • Participate in Kappa Alpha Theta ritual services.

New Member Requirements

New members are eligible for initiation once they complete member orientation, fulfill financial requirements to the chapter, sign the loyalty pledge, and are in good standing. During orientation, new members are responsible for attending new member meetings and chapter meetings.

  • Bid Day
  • Weekly Modules, both in-person and online
