you are uncertain of your Chapters certification standing, contact your regional board member.
Undergraduate Chapters - MUST provide a current listing of cumulative GPA's
for Brothers in the Chapter (as of end of the Summer or Fall) and forward

Chapter Certification Criteria
The Grand Board of Directors has mandated each Province Polemarch to administer
a "certification" of chapters falling under his aegis. The certification
of every undergraduate chapter is an important and mandatory precursor to
undergraduate membership intake, including the recruitment, initiation, and
indoctrination of men interested in joining Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
As approved by the Grand Board Directors, the 19 point criteria for Undergraduate
Chapter certification is included. Each criterion falls under five categories,
demonstrating the constituent groups responsible for providing the Province
Polemarch documentation necessary for him to make informed and responsible
decisions for the certification of chapters:
(1) International Headquarters, (2) Colleges and Universities, (3) Provincial,
(4) Chapter, and (5) Alumni Chapter.
The following information is required of the candidate and the chapter. This
information along with the necessary fees will be collected on at the Paperwork
Meeting at the suggested date, time and location listed by the Membership Intake Coordinator.
